How we handle fire rated sealant in Bicknacre
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can help, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Bicknacre, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Fire rated sealant in Bicknacre: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Priory Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to South Woodham Ferrers station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

When to call us in Bicknacre
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Community buildings like St Andrew's are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Bicknacre, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
