How we handle fire rated sealant in Bentley
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about old fire sealant that has split or come away and open gaps behind door architraves.
For a small place like Bentley, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Somewhere as small as Bentley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bentley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Tidy, careful work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Fully insured
- We never seal over old sealant
See our cost guide and what customers say.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Questions from Bentley
Do you cover Bentley for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bentley is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Brentwood station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Bentley?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.

Commercial buildings in Bentley
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Becket Keys Church of England School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Brentwood station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
