Fire rated sealant in Loves Green: 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Highwood Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Paul's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Ingatestone station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Loves Green is about 5 miles west of Chelmsford, in Essex. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Loves Green is covered for fire rated sealant. The work is guaranteed for a year. Our Essex coverage runs to 644 places, and Loves Green is one of them.

Fire rated sealant in Loves Green
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
In a village or hamlet like Loves Green, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Loves Green and across Essex.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
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. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Loves Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Loves Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Ingatestone station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Loves Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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 and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
What affects the quote in Loves Green
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Loves Green

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
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 Loves Green
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around Loves Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
