Why it’s worth doing now in High Ongar
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Older cottages and farmhouses around High Ongar can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Fire rated sealant in High Ongar
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near High Ongar, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we’re called out for in High Ongar
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Schools such as High Ongar Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What fire rated sealant looks like in High Ongar
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
