Fire Rated Sealant in Fordham Heath
We cover Fordham Heath for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Fordham Heath
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Fordham Heath, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fordham Heath, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Fordham Heath, access is generally the main thing to plan. 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.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor

What else we do in Fordham Heath
Workplaces and buildings in Fordham Heath
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Rented homes near Marks Tey station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as All Saints Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
