About our fire rated sealant in Tolleshunt D'Arcy
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We are often asked to deal with fire stopping disturbed by later work and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Tolleshunt D'Arcy, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites

- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know

- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a small place like Tolleshunt D'Arcy, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Every job guaranteed for a year

Fire rated sealant around Tolleshunt D'Arcy
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Tolleshunt D'Arcy, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tolleshunt D'Arcy St Nicholas CofE VA Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
