Fire rated sealant in East Tilbury
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. Typical jobs include old fire sealant that has split or come away and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, across linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
Commercial work around a smaller place like East Tilbury generally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. 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. Parking around East Tilbury is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What we’re called out for in East Tilbury
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Schools such as East Tilbury Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
East Tilbury questions
Do you cover smaller places like East Tilbury?
Yes, East Tilbury is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover East Tilbury for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and East Tilbury is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in East Tilbury
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much there is to do
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

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, and gaps around services are often picked up there.

Different surfaces, different methods

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.
