Fire Rated Sealant in Billericay
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Billericay? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was 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.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Billericay
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and people most often call us about old fire sealant that has split or come away and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
If you look after a school, care home, pub or office in Billericay, the sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and the fire-rated joints around its pipework, all need looking after. Work can be planned around opening hours where needed.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
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.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In Billericay, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy household in Billericay they spread with every shower and every downpour. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

Questions from Billericay
Is fire rated sealant in Billericay guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Billericay for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Billericay is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire

Commercial buildings in Billericay
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Billericay station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a building such as Sunnymede Junior School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Church of St Mary Magdalene are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
