About our fire rated sealant in Doddinghurst Common
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Typical jobs include joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, across plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
For a small place like Doddinghurst Common, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What else we do in Doddinghurst Common
How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In a small place like Doddinghurst Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Surface by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Doddinghurst Common
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.
If you let a flat or house near Shenfield station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a building such as Kelvedon Hatch Community Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as New Church of St Nicholas, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Doddinghurst Common, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Common questions in Doddinghurst Common
Do you work for landlords with property near Shenfield station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Doddinghurst Common?
Yes, we do. 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.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
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; we install to those details and record what we did.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
