About our fire rated sealant in Matching Green
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can help, on service penetrations, door frames and plasterboard & masonry alike.
In a village or hamlet like Matching 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Matching Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Matching Green
Do you cover smaller places like Matching Green?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Matching Green in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Matching Green is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Fire rated sealant around Matching 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Common problems we fix in Matching Green
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Rented homes near Sawbridgeworth station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What preparation is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
Leave it or put it right?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Matching Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
