Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
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’re sealing.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Ardleigh
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and people most often call us about joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Ardleigh, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ardleigh
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that doesn’t depend on other work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ardleigh, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Full insurance on every job

What we’re called out for in Ardleigh
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Ardleigh, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

What else we do in Ardleigh
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
