Fire-rated sealant in St Leonards, Hertfordshire

Fire rated sealant in St Leonards, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Common call-outs are for open holes round services passing through fire walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, across pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
For a small place like St Leonards, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in St Leonards as everywhere else we work.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in St Leonards
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The problem you’ve noticed

St Leonards: your questions answered
Will you come out to St Leonards?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is St Leonards in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and St Leonards is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
What fire rated sealant looks like in St Leonards
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Wendover station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Leonard, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like St Leonards, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
