Fire rated sealant in Tolleshunt Major, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have open holes round services passing through fire walls and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can help, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Tolleshunt Major, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Tolleshunt Major questions
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Tolleshunt Major?
All our work, in Tolleshunt Major and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Tolleshunt Major?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tolleshunt Major
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Tolleshunt Major, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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 fire rated sealant looks like in Tolleshunt Major
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Tolleshunt Major, 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. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. In and around Tolleshunt Major, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
