About our fire rated sealant in Bradwell
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you are dealing with open gaps behind door architraves and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Bradwell, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire

- 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 before booking.

Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bradwell can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

FAQs for Bradwell
Is Bradwell in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Bradwell is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Braintree Freeport station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
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.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Bradwell?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Workplaces and buildings in Bradwell
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, 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.
Community buildings like Parish Church of the Holy Trinity are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Alec Hunter Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.

When to call us in Bradwell
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you let a flat or house near Braintree Freeport station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
