Fire-rated sealing and fire stopping in Crays Hill, Essex

Why act early in Crays Hill

A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail, and doing it once, properly, is cheaper. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Crays Hill. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.

The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

How the job changes by surface

Plastic pipes

In a fire, plastic pipework melts away and leaves an opening. Small sizes are sometimes covered by an intumescent sealant detail. We confirm material and size first and tell you if sealant isn’t the right product.

Small ducts

Ducts are only sealed with sealant where the detail allows it. Dampers and ductwork systems themselves are outside our work.

Compartments and services around Crays Hill

Central London is about 25 miles from Crays Hill. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Crays Hill. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are typically fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product.

For a building such as Church of St Mary, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing. Large healthcare estates like Basildon University Hospital, 3.1 miles to the south of Crays Hill, change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work. Refits at places like Mayflower Retail Park (0.8 miles south of Crays Hill) often reroute services through walls between units.
