When to call us in Netteswell
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Rented homes near Harlow Town station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What affects the quote in Netteswell
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a smaller place like Netteswell, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- 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
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Commercial buildings in Netteswell
Netteswell is part of Harlow, one of the post-war new towns. Like the other new towns, Harlow was planned with its own areas for industry and business, so workplaces sit close to the homes. Each has washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints to keep in order. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as St Andrew's Methodist Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like Freshwaters Primary Academy? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
