Fire rated sealant in Temple End
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We’re often asked to deal with fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps left after a refit or conversion, across service penetrations, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
For a small place like Temple End, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Temple End needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Common problems we fix in Temple End
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For landlords with property near Hitchin station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long to leave it before use

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Temple End
Do you work for landlords with property near Hitchin station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you work in hotels near Temple End?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
