Advice
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Theydon Garnon
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. Common call-outs are for new service routes left unsealed after building work and linear gaps at the head of walls, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
In a village or hamlet like Theydon Garnon, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Fire rated sealant in Theydon Garnon: 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.
Schools such as Theydon Bois Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
Questions from Theydon Garnon
Will you come out to Theydon Garnon?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Theydon Garnon in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Theydon Garnon is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Theydon Garnon?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Service penetrations

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
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. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a small place like Theydon Garnon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
