Fire rated sealant in Gambles Green: local notes
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as United Reformed Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Terling Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Gambles Green
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
Work in a small place like Gambles Green is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Gambles Green?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Gambles Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Why it’s worth doing now in Gambles Green
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 work involved is often modest. In a small place like Gambles Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Why us?

Common problems we fix in Gambles Green
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
Letting a property close to Hatfield Peverel station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
- When the joint can take water or movement
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
