About our fire rated sealant in Greensted
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on. We work on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and people most often call us about fire stopping disturbed by later work and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
In a village or hamlet like Greensted, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Greensted
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Fire rated sealant around Greensted
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chipping Ongar Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Greensted Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Greensted, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Greensted
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Greensted?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Greensted?
Yes, Greensted is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
