Fire rated sealant in Bentfield Green, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Typical jobs include gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and gaps left after a refit or conversion, across linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Bentfield Green, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Bentfield Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Commercial buildings in Bentfield Green

For buildings such as Church of St John the Evangelist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Do you work for landlords with property near Stansted Mountfitchet station?

Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Bentfield Green?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Bentfield Green
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bentfield Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How much experience the applicator has
