What fire rated sealant looks like in Peldon
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Peldon, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 Church of St Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Wivenhoe station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Peldon, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Older cottages and farmhouses around Peldon can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor

Questions from Peldon
I let a flat near Wivenhoe station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Peldon within the area you cover?
Yes. Peldon 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.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Want a quote for fire rated sealant? Please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the job. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
