How we handle fire rated sealant in Little Canfield
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are new service routes left unsealed after building work and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
Work in a small place like Little Canfield is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Little Canfield?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What preparation is included
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
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.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Canfield
If you manage several properties in or around Little Canfield, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Why act early in Little Canfield
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a small place like Little Canfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Little Canfield, 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.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
Getting a quote
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
