Fire rated sealant in Bradwell Wick, done properly
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you are dealing with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Bradwell Wick, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Bradwell Wick needs a little journey planning: 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 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What else we do in Bradwell Wick
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
When to call us in Bradwell Wick
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Letting a property close to Southminster station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Who turns up on the day
- What the cure time is

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Bradwell Wick
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Bradwell Wick, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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, 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Lawrence, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Bradwell Wick, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. 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.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
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.
