Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Chickney
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are open holes round services passing through fire walls and linear gaps at the head of walls.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Chickney, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we’ll tell you.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’re 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.
Commercial buildings in Chickney
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Stansted Airport station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Chickney needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chickney
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. Around Chickney, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
