Fire rated sealant in Ugley
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That is the part we focus on. Common call-outs are for damaged fire sealant left by other trades and linear gaps at the head of walls, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Ugley, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Ugley and everywhere else we cover.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Ugley, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Workplaces and buildings in Ugley
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ugley can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

When to call us in Ugley
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Letting a property close to Elsenham station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Common questions in Ugley
Do you work for landlords with property near Elsenham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Ugley?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
