Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Sandon
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames, and the jobs we see most are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Sandon, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Sandon
Is Sandon in your area for fire rated sealant?

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chelmsford station?

What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Sandon needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
Getting a quote
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
Advice
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
If you’re in Sandon and need fire rated sealant, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sandon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

When to call us in Sandon
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Look out for these signs:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For landlords with property near Chelmsford station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the cure time is
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Fire rated sealant in Sandon: local notes
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 building such as The Sandon School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
