Fire rated sealant in Stisted, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you are dealing with fire seals that have cracked with movement and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can help.
Work in a small place like Stisted is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Common problems we fix in Stisted
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Schools such as Stisted Church of England Primary Academy are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Fire rated sealant in Stisted: local notes
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Braintree Freeport station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Stisted, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Stisted
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The amount of work
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
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 email photos if that is easy.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In a small place like Stisted, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.

Stisted: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Braintree Freeport station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Stisted?
Yes, Stisted is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
