About our fire rated sealant in Curling Tye Green
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. If you have new service routes left unsealed after building work and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right.
For a small place like Curling Tye 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.

Do you cover Curling Tye Green for fire rated sealant?

How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Curling Tye Green
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What product goes in the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Fire rated sealant in Curling Tye Green: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Curling Tye Green, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 Plume School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Hatfield Peverel station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
