Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
About our fire rated sealant in Beazley End
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Beazley End. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and people most often call us about cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
In a village or hamlet like Beazley End, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Commercial buildings in Beazley End
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.
Community buildings like St Mary's Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Beazley End: your questions answered
Can you do fire rated sealant in Beazley End?
Yes, Beazley End is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Braintree station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. In a small place like Beazley End, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
Ask for a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Advice
When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
Common problems we fix in Beazley End
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
For landlords with property near Braintree station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
