Perry Green: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cressing station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Perry Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Perry Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Fire rated sealant in Perry Green
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. Typical jobs include fire seals that have cracked with movement and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames.
Work in a small place like Perry Green is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
Commercial buildings in Perry Green
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Cressing station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Alec Hunter Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Perry Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
When to call us in Perry Green
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For buildings such as Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
