Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Fire rated sealant in Stones Green
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. 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 sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can help, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Stones Green, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Why act early in Stones Green
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Stones Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Fire rated sealant in Stones Green: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Stones Green, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
If you look after a building such as Wix and Wrabness Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Stones Green: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Wrabness station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Stones Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Stones Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
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.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stones Green
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Stones Green
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Letting a property close to Wrabness station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
