Fire rated sealant in Great Totham
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. If you are dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and door frames alike.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Great Totham, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. In a smaller place like Great Totham, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Fire rated sealant in Great Totham: local notes
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Great Totham Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Why it’s worth doing now in Great Totham
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In a smaller place like Great Totham, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Great Totham
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For landlords with property near Witham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
