Fire rated sealant in Great Easton
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That is the part we focus on. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and people most often call us about sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
Work in a small place like Great Easton is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.

Great Easton questions
Will you come out to Great Easton?
Yes, Great Easton is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Stansted Airport station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Great Easton?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Landlord and commercial work in Great Easton
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In a small place like Great Easton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
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.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Fire rated sealant around Great Easton
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Stansted Airport station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like Church of St John and St Giles are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What we are called out for in Great Easton
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Helena Romanes School and Sixth Form Centre, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is
- Is VAT in the price?
- What product goes in the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Great Easton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
