Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Great Leighs
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are open holes round services passing through fire walls and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
In a village or hamlet like Great Leighs, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Great Leighs as everywhere else we work.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Great Leighs
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How much there is to do
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Why it’s worth doing now in Great Leighs
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. In a small place like Great Leighs, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Great Leighs?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Community buildings like Church of St John the Evangelist are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What else we do in Great Leighs
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Great Leighs, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
