About our fire rated sealant in Beckley Furnace
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can put it right, on linear gaps, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps alike.
Somewhere as small as Beckley Furnace, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Beckley Furnace as everywhere else we work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
FAQs for Beckley Furnace
Is Beckley Furnace within the area you cover?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Doleham station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In a small place like Beckley Furnace, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Common problems we fix in Beckley Furnace
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Look out for any of the following:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
If you let a flat or house near Doleham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Fire rated sealant around Beckley Furnace
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brede Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
