About our fire rated sealant in Brightlingsea
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We’re often asked to deal with old fire sealant that has split or come away and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, across service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Brightlingsea, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.

Fire rated sealant in Brightlingsea: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Brightlingsea, 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.
Rented homes near Alresford station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brightlingsea Primary School and Nursery, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St James, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a job in Brightlingsea, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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 and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
