What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal

About our fire rated sealant in Pleshey
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We are often asked to deal with fire seals that have cracked with movement and holes left by a change of layout, across service penetrations, linear gaps and door frames.
Somewhere as small as Pleshey, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Is Pleshey within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Pleshey needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Pleshey
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job

Surface by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Why act early in Pleshey
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Around Pleshey, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Full insurance on every job
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

Workplaces and buildings in Pleshey
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Church of Holy Trinity are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. In and around Pleshey, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
