What we are called out for in Staines Green
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 does not always get resealed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hertingfordbury Cowper Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

About our fire rated sealant in Staines Green
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We work on service penetrations, door frames and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are linear gaps at the head of walls and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Staines Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Staines Green and across Hertfordshire.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Staines Green: your questions answered
I let a flat near Hertford North station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Staines Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Staines Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
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.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Staines Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Fire rated sealant in Staines Green: local notes
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Hertford North station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Church of St Mary and St John are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
