About our fire rated sealant in Mulberry Green
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We are often asked to deal with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, across linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
For a small place like Mulberry Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Mulberry Green and everywhere else we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mulberry Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We leave the area clean and tidy

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before we start.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Mulberry Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Fire rated sealant in Mulberry Green: local notes
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, 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 let a flat or house near Marks Tey station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like The Stanway School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.

Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.

Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
