Our applicators work in Bedlar's Green on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.

Commercial buildings in Bedlar's Green
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 buildings such as Church of St Giles, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Birchwood High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details.

If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Bedlar's Green, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Bedlar's Green and across Essex.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Bedlar's Green
- Plasterboard & masonry

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
When to call us in Bedlar's Green
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
If you let a flat or house near Bishops Stortford station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.

- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
