About our fire rated sealant in Tiptree
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and linear gaps alike.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Tiptree, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Commercial buildings in Tiptree
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Luke are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as St Luke's Church of England Controlled Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Kelvedon station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
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.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Tiptree
Is Tiptree within the area you cover?
Yes, Tiptree is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Tiptree in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Tiptree is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a job in Tiptree, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Why it’s worth doing now in Tiptree
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 work involved is often modest. Homes in smaller places like Tiptree can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we’ll flag it.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
