About our fire rated sealant in St Vincent's Hamlet
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you have joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can help, on linear gaps, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near St Vincent's Hamlet, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Workplaces and buildings in St Vincent's Hamlet
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Harold Wood station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of St Thomas are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in St Vincent's Hamlet
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Managing a site like Drapers' Maylands Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What preparation is included
- Are they insured?
- The length of the guarantee
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.

What else we do in St Vincent's Hamlet
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Why act early in St Vincent's Hamlet
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around St Vincent's Hamlet, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- One-year guarantee on every job
