What the job involves on each surface
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.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
About our fire rated sealant in Welham Green
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Welham Green have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Welham Green as everywhere else we work.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Welham 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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a smaller place like Welham Green, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What fire rated sealant looks like in Welham Green
Welham Green is part of Hatfield, one of the post-war new towns. Like the other new towns, Hatfield was planned with its own areas for industry and business, so workplaces sit close to the homes. Their washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints need the same upkeep as anywhere. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Welham Green station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
