About our fire rated sealant in Debden Green
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Debden Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Around Debden Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Commercial buildings in Debden 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, 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.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Debden Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t 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.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
