About our fire rated sealant in West Hanney
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
Work in a small place like West Hanney is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.

Fire rated sealant around West Hanney
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St James are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. Somewhere as small as West Hanney, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
When to call us in West Hanney
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Schools such as St James Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What product goes in the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if the job turns out different
