About our fire rated sealant in Great Saling
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Great Saling, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:

- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job

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.

What else we do in Great Saling
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins to keep disruption down.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Fire rated sealant in Great Saling: 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Braintree station? Then 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 James are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Questions from Great Saling
Can you do fire rated sealant in Great Saling?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Great Saling is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is Great Saling within the area you cover?
Yes, Great Saling is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Great Saling and the rest of Essex.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Great Saling can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
