About our fire rated sealant in Roxwell
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you’re dealing with fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Roxwell, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Roxwell and everywhere else we cover.

FAQs for Roxwell
Will you come out to Roxwell?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Chelmsford station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Roxwell, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Fire rated sealant around Roxwell
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Roxwell
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Roxwell?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For landlords with property near Chelmsford station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
