Fire rated sealant around Howe Green
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.
For landlords with property near Chelmsford station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of St Andrew are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Fire rated sealant in Howe Green
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We are often asked to deal with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, across flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Howe Green, 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 guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Howe Green
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Around Howe Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Homes, businesses and hotels

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Howe Green?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.

Related advice
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Howe Green
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you look after a building such as The Sandon School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
