Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Nayland
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have door frames with gaps between frame and wall and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Nayland, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Landlord and commercial work in Nayland
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Nayland, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Workplaces and buildings in Nayland

Rented homes near Bures station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as Church of St James, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Questions from Nayland
Is Nayland within the area you cover?
Yes, Nayland is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Nayland for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Nayland is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What we’re called out for in Nayland
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Schools such as Nayland Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
