How we handle fire rated sealant in Epping Upland
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. Typical jobs include fire seals that have cracked with movement and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Epping Upland, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Epping Upland as everywhere else we work.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed 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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Epping Upland?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Managing a site like Epping Upland CofE Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What to look for in a quote
- What the cure time is
- The length of the guarantee
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
