Fire rated sealant in Ramsey
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
For a small place like Ramsey, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Ramsey and everywhere else we cover.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Ramsey 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.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

Why it’s worth doing now in Ramsey
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ramsey 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 each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

- Arbo and Everbuild products

Fire rated sealant in Ramsey: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Ramsey, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Harwich and Dovercourt High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Wrabness station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Ramsey is about 2 miles west of Harwich, in Essex. Ramsey gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Across Essex, we cover 644 places, Ramsey among them. We also work in Chelmsford, around 34 miles away.

What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What we’re called out for in Ramsey
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For buildings such as Parish Church of St Michael, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
