Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete

Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Fire rated sealant in Little Hallingbury
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. Common call-outs are for damaged fire sealant left by other trades and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, across service penetrations, door frames and flats & HMOs.
Work in a small place like Little Hallingbury is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Little Hallingbury
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 Spellbrook CofE Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Sawbridgeworth station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Hallingbury can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What we’re called out for in Little Hallingbury
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 particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
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.
Before booking anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How hidden problems are handled
What affects the quote in Little Hallingbury

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
