Fire rated sealant in Great Wigborough, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. If you are dealing with old fire sealant that has split or come away and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Great Wigborough, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps

Fire rated sealant around Great Wigborough
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Great Wigborough, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Stephen, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Great Wigborough, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit 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.

- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
