Questions from Bures Green
Will you come out to Bures Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bures station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
About our fire rated sealant in Bures Green
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. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are linear gaps at the head of walls and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
Somewhere as small as Bures Green, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Landlord and commercial work in Bures Green
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Bures Green and across Essex. We can quote a run of properties together.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Bures Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Bures Green, access is normally 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.
- 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 records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Commercial buildings in Bures Green
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bures Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Bures station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
