If you’re dealing with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and open joints along the top of partitions, we can help, on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs alike.

Fire rated sealant in Little Clacton: 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like Engaines Primary School and Nursery? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as Church of St James, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Thorpe-Le-Soken station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What else we do in Little Clacton
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
For fire rated sealant in Little Clacton, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Around Little Clacton, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why book with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- We never seal over old sealant
- Tidy, careful work
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Landlord and commercial work in Little Clacton

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Little Clacton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we’re sealing.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
