About our fire rated sealant in Clacton-on-Sea
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and people most often call us about holes left by a change of layout and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
If you look after a school, care home, pub or office in Clacton-on-Sea, the sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and the fire-rated joints around its pipework, all need looking after. Work can be planned around opening hours where needed.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
What affects the quote in Clacton-on-Sea
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- What’s wrong with the joints now

Common questions in Clacton-on-Sea
Do you work in hotels near Clacton-on-Sea?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you work for landlords with property near Clacton-On-Sea station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Clacton-on-Sea and the rest of Essex, along with the rest of our area.

Common problems we fix in Clacton-on-Sea
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Managing a site like White Hall Academy? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether you can choose the colour
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. For a job in Clacton-on-Sea, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work
How to get a quote
