About our fire rated sealant in Copford Green
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We are often asked to deal with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and open joints along the top of partitions, across plasterboard & masonry, door frames and service penetrations.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Copford Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Copford Green and across Essex.

What else we do in Copford Green
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Somewhere as small as Copford Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not 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.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Copford Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Fire rated sealant around Copford Green
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, 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.
Managing a site like The Stanway School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Marks Tey station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Common problems we fix in Copford Green
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
Community buildings like Church of St Michael and All Angels are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long to leave it before use
- The length of the guarantee
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
FAQs for Copford Green
Will you come out to Copford Green?
Yes, Copford Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Marks Tey station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
What do you put in the joint?
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.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
