Fire rated sealant in Manwood Green, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you have damaged fire sealant left by other trades and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Manwood Green, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. 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 Manwood Green and across Essex.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Manwood Green
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Martin, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Older cottages and farmhouses around Manwood Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins.

For a village or hamlet like Manwood Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.

Advice
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Manwood Green?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
If you let a flat or house near Sawbridgeworth station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
