DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Fire rated sealant in Takeley Street, done properly
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We are often asked to deal with gaps left after a refit or conversion and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Takeley Street, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Takeley Street and across Essex.

Why it’s worth doing now in Takeley Street
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Takeley Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- More than 20 years in sealant work

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Takeley Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Takeley Street
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For buildings such as Church of the Holy Trinity, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the job turns out different
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.

Fire rated sealant around Takeley Street
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
For landlords with property near Stansted Airport station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Roseacres Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
