Fire rated sealant in Paglesham
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and service penetrations, and people most often call us about old fire sealant that has split or come away and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
Work in a small place like Paglesham is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that doesn’t depend on other work. In a small place like Paglesham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Paglesham
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 Peters Mission Hall, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For landlords with property near Burnham-On-Crouch station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What else we do in Paglesham
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run.
The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Paglesham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Common questions in Paglesham
Is Paglesham within the area you cover?

How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used.
