How we handle fire rated sealant in Ware
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 are often asked to deal with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and gaps left after a refit or conversion, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and flats & HMOs.
Washrooms in busy buildings wear their sealant out faster than a bathroom at home, while fire-rated sealant has to be made good whenever new pipes or cables go through. In Ware, timings are planned around the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Common questions in Ware
Is fire rated sealant in Ware guaranteed?
All our work, in Ware and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ware station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Workplaces and buildings in Ware
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 Christ Church CofE (VA) Primary School and Nursery are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Christ Church Ware, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ware

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
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 job gets bigger.

Common problems we fix in Ware
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
For landlords with property near Ware station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What product goes in the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
Can I do it myself?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In Ware, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
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 room by room.
