How we handle fire rated sealant in Turnford
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Turnford usually means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Turnford
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Longlands Primary School and Nursery? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Cheshunt station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like St Clement are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Turnford
I let a flat near Cheshunt station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Turnford?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a smaller place like Turnford, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
