About our fire rated sealant in Lanham Green
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you are dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Lanham Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Lanham Green and across Essex.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Lanham 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.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Landlord and commercial work in Lanham Green
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Why deal with it now?
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 Lanham Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Advice
Fire rated sealant in Lanham Green: local notes
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Cressing Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Cressing station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
