Low Street Fire Rated Sealant
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homes and businesses in Low Street and across Thurrock. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Fire rated sealant in Low Street, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you are dealing with fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Low Street, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Thurrock.

What we are called out for in Low Street
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Look out for any of the following:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For buildings such as St James' Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
Need a quote? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the job. We will explain what we’d do and give you a clear quote before we start.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Low Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Fire rated sealant in Low Street: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Low Street, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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.
Letting a property close to East Tilbury station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like East Tilbury Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Around Low Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Tidy, careful work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- 12-month guarantee on every job

Do you cover Low Street for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Low Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near East Tilbury station. Can you help?

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we don’t assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
