What fire rated sealant looks like in Waltham St Lawrence
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Waltham St Lawrence Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Twyford station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Waltham St Lawrence
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Waltham St Lawrence, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Waltham St Lawrence
Can you do fire rated sealant in Waltham St Lawrence?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Waltham St Lawrence is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Waltham St Lawrence?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What we’re called out for in Waltham St Lawrence
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For buildings such as Church of St Lawrence, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Are they insured?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
