Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Tendring Green
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and people most often call us about gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
Work in a small place like Tendring Green is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Tendring Green
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Tendring Green?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Community buildings like Church of St Edmund are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Questions from Tendring Green

What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
