Do you need fire rated sealant in Frinton-on-Sea?
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 normally mention when they call are:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
If you let a flat or house near Frinton-On-Sea station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Frinton-on-Sea
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We are often asked to deal with fire stopping disturbed by later work and open holes round services passing through fire walls, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and service penetrations.

Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Do you take out the old sealant first?

How much does fire rated sealant cost in Frinton-on-Sea?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.

Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Homes in smaller places like Frinton-on-Sea can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
