Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for Feering, backed by a one-year guarantee. Call for a quick quote.
- Linear gaps at the head of walls

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Feering
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you have open holes round services passing through fire walls and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Feering, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why act early in Feering
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Feering, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What affects the quote in Feering
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

Fire rated sealant around Feering
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. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Kelvedon station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Parish Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Feering, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Feering
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
If you look after a building such as Feering Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Before you book anyone
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether you can choose the colour
- The length of the guarantee
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
