How we handle fire rated sealant in Puttock's End
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Typical jobs include gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, across linear gaps, door frames and pipe & cable gaps.
For a small place like Puttock's End, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
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. In a small place like Puttock's End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Fire rated sealant in Puttock's End: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Stansted Airport station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When to call us in Puttock's End
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you look after a building such as Takeley Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Puttock's End, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
