Fire rated sealant in Woodhall Farm, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Common call-outs are for cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, across pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
In a smaller place like Woodhall Farm, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Around Woodhall Farm, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
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.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Woodhall Farm
Will you come out to Woodhall Farm?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Woodhall Farm in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Woodhall Farm is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking around Woodhall Farm is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- 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.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Woodhall Farm
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Woodhall Farm is part of Hemel Hempstead, one of the post-war new towns. Like the other new towns, Hemel Hempstead was planned with its own areas for industry and business, so workplaces sit close to the homes. Each has washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints to keep in order.
Schools such as South Hill Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Alexandra Road Congregational Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Hemel Hempstead station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
