Fire rated sealant in St Margarets, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and the jobs we see most are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
Work in a small place like St Margarets is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What we’re called out for in St Margarets
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Schools such as The Cranbourne Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like St Margarets, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like St Margarets, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.

We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
