Fire Rated Sealant in Coggeshall
Our applicators work in Coggeshall on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a smaller place like Coggeshall, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
How we handle fire rated sealant in Coggeshall
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Coggeshall have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we’ll flag it.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
What we are called out for in Coggeshall
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Managing a site like Honywood Community Science School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. In a smaller place like Coggeshall, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Common questions in Coggeshall
Is Coggeshall within the area you cover?
Yes. Coggeshall is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Kelvedon station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Coggeshall
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Fire rated sealant in Coggeshall: local notes
Coggeshall has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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.
Letting a property close to Kelvedon station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as St Peter ad Vincula, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
