Fire Rated Sealant in Lower Nazeing
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Lower Nazeing? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Fire rated sealant in Lower Nazeing, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can help.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Lower Nazeing, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Landlord and commercial work in Lower Nazeing
Letting agents and landlords in Lower Nazeing can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
Common problems we fix in Lower Nazeing
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For landlords with property near Broxbourne station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Commercial buildings in Lower Nazeing
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.
Community buildings like St Giles are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Nazeing Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.

Advice
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Lower Nazeing: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Nazeing?
Yes. Lower Nazeing is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Lower Nazeing for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Lower Nazeing is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
