Lamb Corner: your questions answered
Will you come out to Lamb Corner?
Yes, Lamb Corner is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Manningtree station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Fire rated sealant in Lamb Corner
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. If you are dealing with open gaps behind door architraves and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can put it right, on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Lamb Corner, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

How the job changes by 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 work begins to keep disruption down.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Lamb Corner, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In a small place like Lamb Corner, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Fire rated sealant in Lamb Corner: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Dedham Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Manningtree station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Lamb Corner is about 5 miles north-east of Colchester, in Essex. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Lamb Corner is covered for fire rated sealant, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Lamb Corner is one of 644 towns and villages in Essex where we work. Our Chelmsford page covers work nearby, about 25 miles away.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
