Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Bannister Green
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That is the part we focus on. If you have gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can put it right.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Bannister Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Bannister Green: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Braintree station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Bannister Green?
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 have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Bannister Green
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
If you let a flat or house near Braintree station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- How long the guarantee is
- What preparation is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bannister Green
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 that doesn’t depend on other work. In a small place like Bannister Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
