Fire rated sealant in West End, done properly
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. If you have gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can put it right.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near West End, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Common questions in West End
Do you cover West End for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and West End is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like West End?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we are sealing.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry

Fire rated sealant around West End
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Hatfield station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Common problems we fix in West End
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you look after a building such as Essendon CofE (VC) Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- The length of the guarantee
- How long to leave it before use
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like West End, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property
