Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Great Stambridge
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are damaged fire sealant left by other trades and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.

FAQs for Great Stambridge
I let a flat near Rochford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Great Stambridge within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used for your files.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Fire rated sealant around Great Stambridge
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.
Letting a property close to Rochford station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stambridge Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Church of St Mary and All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames

Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Great Stambridge needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Great Stambridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
