Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Little Walden
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
For a small place like Little Walden, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, 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.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Little Walden
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Saffron Walden County High School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to Great Chesterford station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Little Walden: your questions answered
Do you cover Little Walden for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Little Walden is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Great Chesterford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Little Walden
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 may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For buildings such as St John, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
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 job gets bigger.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Service penetrations

Why it’s worth doing now in Little Walden
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Walden can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Little Walden, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
