Fire rated sealant in Steeple View, done properly
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you’re dealing with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can help, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps alike.
In a smaller place like Steeple View, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a smaller place like Steeple View, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Steeple View
Steeple View is part of Basildon, one of the post-war new towns. Basildon was planned with its own industrial and business areas, so there are offices, units and workplaces not far from home. Their washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints need the same upkeep as anywhere. 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.
Rented homes near Laindon station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a building such as Millhouse Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Steeple View is about 2 miles north-west of Basildon, in Essex. Across the SS15 area, we cover fire rated sealant for homes and businesses. Our area takes in 644 places across Essex. There’s also a page for Chelmsford, roughly 11 miles from Steeple View.
Our applicators cover all of SS15, CM12 and SS16 for fire rated sealant. You’ll find streets such as Green Lane, Kings Road and Boult Road, and we cover them all. Neighbouring places we cover for fire rated sealant include Noak Hill (1 mile north), Noak Bridge (1 mile east), Laindon (1 mile south), Lee Chapel (2 miles south-east) and Great Berry (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cover Chelmsford (11 miles north), Brentwood (6 miles north-west), Maldon (15 miles north-east), Canvey Island (8 miles south-east), Billericay (3 miles north) and Rayleigh (8 miles east).
Landmarks near Steeple View
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to The James Hornsby School and Gloucester Park and the streets around them. Steeple View’s nearest station is Laindon station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre. A little further out are Basildon University Hospital (2.3 miles south-east) and Barleylands Farm Museum (1.3 miles north-east). Open spaces near Steeple View include Langdon Nature Reserve.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a smaller place like Steeple View, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Steeple View
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.

Do you hold any approvals?

What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
