When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place

How we handle fire rated sealant in Doddinghurst
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are holes left by a change of layout and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Doddinghurst, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Can I do it myself?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Commercial buildings in Doddinghurst
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Shenfield station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Managing a site like Doddinghurst Infant School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Why it’s worth doing now in Doddinghurst
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Doddinghurst, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.

Doddinghurst: your questions answered
I let a flat near Shenfield station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Doddinghurst?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
