Fire rated sealant in Great Bardfield
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and service penetrations alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Great Bardfield, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Bardfield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Great Bardfield?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Community buildings like Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether VAT is included
- When the joint can take water or movement

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Great Bardfield, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- 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
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

What fire rated sealant looks like in Great Bardfield
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.
Schools such as Great Bardfield Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
