Fire Rated Sealant in Henham
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Henham? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
About our fire rated sealant in Henham

If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We are often asked to deal with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Henham
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear price.

Workplaces and buildings in Henham
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Henham and Ugley Primary and Nursery School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Elsenham station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Henham
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Elsenham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Henham within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Henham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start so residents know what to expect.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
