About our fire rated sealant in East Bergholt
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Typical jobs include open joints along the top of partitions and gaps left after a refit or conversion, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
In a smaller place like East Bergholt, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Can you do fire rated sealant in East Bergholt?

Do you work for landlords with property near Manningtree station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.

What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Commercial buildings in East Bergholt
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around East Bergholt, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Manningtree station change hands often, and 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 East Bergholt High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
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, following the tested detail.
Why it’s worth doing now in East Bergholt
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In an older home around East Bergholt, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
