Fire rated sealant in Horndon on the Hill
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Horndon on the Hill, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
If you’re in Horndon on the Hill and need fire rated sealant, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Leave it or put it right?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Horndon on the Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Fire rated sealant around Horndon on the Hill
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Horndon on the Hill, 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Stanford-Le-Hope station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Horndon-On-the-Hill CofE Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

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.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Horndon on the Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
