Fire rated sealant around Mill 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Ingatestone Infant School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Ingatestone station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Fire rated sealant in Mill Green, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We are often asked to deal with linear gaps at the head of walls and gaps left after a refit or conversion, across flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Mill Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Mill Green
Why act early in Mill Green
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Mill Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

When to call us in Mill Green
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Mill Green questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Ingatestone station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Mill Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Landlord and commercial work in Mill Green
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Mill Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
