Fire rated sealant in Little Thurrock, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on service penetrations, door frames and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Little Thurrock have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why act early in Little Thurrock
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Around Little Thurrock, 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.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we are sealing.
