When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Holland-on-Sea
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Holland-on-Sea, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like Holland Haven Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Rented homes near Clacton-On-Sea station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Holland-on-Sea
Do you cover smaller places like Holland-on-Sea?
Yes. Holland-on-Sea is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Clacton-On-Sea station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
