Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Bonnington
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. We’re often asked to deal with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and open holes round services passing through fire walls, across plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
Work in a small place like Bonnington is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Workplaces and buildings in Bonnington
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as Aldington Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Church of St Rumwold are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Ham Street station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Landlord and commercial work in Bonnington
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
What affects the quote in Bonnington
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Bonnington, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.

No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
