How we handle fire rated sealant in Navestock Side
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. Common call-outs are for ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and linear gaps at the head of walls, across door frames, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
In a village or hamlet like Navestock Side, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Common questions in Navestock Side
I let a flat near Brentwood station. Can you help?

Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Ask which product was used before you paint
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
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 the item can be closed.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
Leave it or put it right?
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Navestock Side can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Navestock Side, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
