Fire rated sealant in Malting Green
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and open joints along the top of partitions, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Malting Green, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
Common problems we fix in Malting Green
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Alderman Blaxill School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Why act early in Malting Green
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Malting Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Commercial buildings in Malting Green
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Andrew are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Colchester Town station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Malting Green questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Colchester Town station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Malting Green?
Yes. Malting Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
