Fire rated sealant in Moulsham
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can help, on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps alike.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Moulsham usually means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

FAQs for Moulsham
Do you work in hotels near Moulsham?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chelmsford station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?

What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Will it make a mess?

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Fire rated sealant around Moulsham
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Moulsham. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Schools such as Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Church of St John the Evangelist are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
Why it’s worth doing now in Moulsham
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In a smaller place like Moulsham, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.
What you get with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. A visit to Moulsham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What we’re called out for in Moulsham
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For landlords with property near Chelmsford station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Before booking anyone
- Is VAT in the price?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
