- How much there is to do
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height

Fire rated sealant in Stonebridge, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Typical jobs include gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
In a village or hamlet like Stonebridge, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Southend-on-Sea.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stonebridge
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Stonebridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and the area is left clean.

- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.

Related advice
When to call us in Stonebridge
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Barling Magna Primary Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Is VAT in the price?

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts to keep disruption down.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Stonebridge
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Stonebridge, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Thorpe Bay station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
