Why act early in Allen's Green
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a small place like Allen's Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Fire rated sealant in Allen's Green, done properly
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
Somewhere as small as Allen's Green, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Fire rated sealant in Allen's Green: local notes
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.
For landlords with property near Sawbridgeworth station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
We quote each job on its own. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Allen's Green
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Former Church of St Anne, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
