How we handle fire rated sealant in North Fambridge
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We are often asked to deal with old fire sealant that has split or come away and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
In a village or hamlet like North Fambridge, 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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the quote in North Fambridge
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
What it costs 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.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Why act early in North Fambridge
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Around North Fambridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Full insurance on every job
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Do you need fire rated sealant in North Fambridge?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Community buildings like Holy Trinity Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
