How we handle fire rated sealant in Sible Hedingham
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps left after a refit or conversion, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
Around a place like Sible Hedingham, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Commercial buildings in Sible Hedingham

Managing a site like Hedingham School and Sixth Form? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Common questions in Sible Hedingham
Do you cover Sible Hedingham for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Sible Hedingham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is fire rated sealant in Sible Hedingham guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
What we’re called out for in Sible Hedingham
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. A visit to Sible Hedingham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
