Flacks Green Fire Rated Sealant
Fire-stopping gaps in Flacks Green need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Holes left by a change of layout
Why act early in Flacks Green
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Flacks Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Fire rated sealant in Flacks Green, done properly
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on door frames, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
Somewhere as small as Flacks Green, 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 of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For fire rated sealant in Flacks Green, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Landlords and letting agents in Flacks Green can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Flacks Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Advice
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Workplaces and buildings in Flacks Green
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Hatfield Peverel 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 church, hall or community building such as United Reformed Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
