How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Orsett, 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.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints

About our fire rated sealant in Orsett
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you’re dealing with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Orsett, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we’ll flag it.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
When to call us in Orsett
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
If you look after a building such as Orsett Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Fire rated sealant around Orsett
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.
For buildings such as St Giles & All Saints Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Stanford-Le-Hope station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

FAQs for Orsett
Is Orsett within the area you cover?
Yes. Orsett is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Stanford-Le-Hope station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Leave it or put it right?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Orsett, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
