Fire rated sealant in South Fambridge, done properly
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on door frames, service penetrations and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
For a small place like South Fambridge, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like South Fambridge, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we will tell you.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Fire rated sealant around South Fambridge
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. 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 All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Greensward Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near North Fambridge station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
