What we are called out for in Little Baddow
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you let a flat or house near Beaulieu Park station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if the job turns out different
Commercial buildings in Little Baddow
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Little Baddow, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like Little Baddow, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Every job guaranteed for a year

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
