DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Fire rated sealant in Springfield, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on linear gaps, door frames and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and linear gaps at the head of walls.
Around a place like Springfield, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What else we do in Springfield
What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Springfield
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Fire rated sealant in Springfield: local notes
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Augustine of Canterbury North Springfield, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Beaulieu Park station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Springfield is about 1 mile north-east of Chelmsford, in Essex. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Springfield can book us for fire rated sealant. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. Springfield is one of 644 places in Essex we cover for fire rated sealant.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. A visit to Springfield 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.
- 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.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Springfield
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
If you look after a building such as Barnes Farm Junior School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
