Fire rated sealant in Aingers Green, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on, one gap at a time. We’re often asked to deal with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and linear gaps at the head of walls, across service penetrations, linear gaps and door frames.
Somewhere as small as Aingers Green, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why act early in Aingers Green
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In a small place like Aingers Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Great Bentley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Aingers Green?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
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.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. 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.

If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
