Noak Bridge questions
Is Noak Bridge in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Noak Bridge is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Basildon station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
About our fire rated sealant in Noak Bridge
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with holes left by a change of layout and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help, on flats & HMOs, door frames and pipe & cable gaps alike.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Noak Bridge generally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Fire rated sealant in Noak Bridge: local notes
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. Basildon, which Noak Bridge is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Like the other new towns, Basildon was planned with its own areas for industry and business, so there are offices, units and workplaces not far from home. Each has washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints to keep in order.
Letting a property close to Basildon station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Noak Bridge Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Noak Bridge is about 1 mile north-west of Basildon, in Essex. Every kind of property in Noak Bridge is covered for fire rated sealant. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee. Noak Bridge is one of 644 places in Essex where we work for fire rated sealant. Chelmsford is on our list too, about 10 miles from Noak Bridge.
Every address in SS15, SS14 and CM11 is within our area for fire rated sealant, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Fire rated sealant is available to properties on Wash Road, Luckyn Lane and Church Road. With the A127 and A176 close by, Noak Bridge is easy for our applicators to reach for fire rated sealant. Nearby, we also carry out fire rated sealant in Steeple View (1 mile west), Noak Hill (1 mile north-west), Basildon (1 mile south-east), Lee Chapel (1 mile south) and Laindon (2 miles south-west).

Around Noak Bridge
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to The James Hornsby School and Gloucester Park. For rail, the closest station is Basildon station, roughly 1.5 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Barleylands Farm Museum (0.9 miles north) and Eastgate Shopping Centre (1.4 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Langdon Nature Reserve.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In an older home around Noak Bridge, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Common problems we fix in Noak Bridge
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Community buildings like Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. A visit to Noak Bridge is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
