Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Ugley Green
We do not 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. If you are dealing with new service routes left unsealed after building work and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can help, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames alike.
For a small place like Ugley Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When to call us in Ugley Green
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Rented homes near Elsenham station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What else we do in Ugley Green
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Ugley Green can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. Around Ugley Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Advice
Fire rated sealant around Ugley Green
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 Peter, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Forest Hall School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
