Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Fire rated sealant in North Weald Bassett
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
Commercial work around a smaller place like North Weald Bassett 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.

Commercial buildings in North Weald Bassett
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Andrew, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as St Andrew's CofE Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Yes, North Weald Bassett is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Around North Weald Bassett, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Advice
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
