Your questions about fire rated sealant in Gosfield
Can you do fire rated sealant in Gosfield?
Yes, Gosfield is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Gosfield?
Yes, Gosfield is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Fire rated sealant around Gosfield
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 landlords with property near Braintree station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of St Catherine are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much there is to do
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Gosfield
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Gosfield Community Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
