What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
About our fire rated sealant in Boarhunt
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; 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 linear gaps at the head of walls and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can help, on linear gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry alike.
In a village or hamlet like Boarhunt, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Boarhunt and everywhere else we cover.

Questions from Boarhunt
Can you do fire rated sealant in Boarhunt?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Boarhunt is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Portchester station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the job. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Boarhunt, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

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.
