Fire rated sealant in Cannon's Green, done properly
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. We work on door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
For a small place like Cannon's Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Cannon's 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as The Ongar Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Cannon's Green?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Cannon's Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few photos by email, if you can
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the job. We will explain what we’d do and give you a clear price before work begins.
