About our fire rated sealant in Balls Green
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. Common call-outs are for holes left by a change of layout and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and door frames.
Somewhere as small as Balls 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Rented homes near Great Bentley station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Around Balls Green, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a small place like Balls Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
