Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.

FAQs for Wimbish Green
Can you do fire rated sealant in Wimbish Green?
Yes, Wimbish Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Wimbish Green?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Wimbish 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Paul's Mission Room, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Newport (Essex) station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wimbish Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs

Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps

- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
Surface by 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.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wimbish Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Wimbish Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
