The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Boreham Street, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit

Surface by surface
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 and we flag any that need another system.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Fire rated sealant in Boreham Street: local notes
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. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Boreham Street. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Around Boreham Street, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. Rented homes near Normans Bay station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Boreham Street questions
Will you come out to Boreham Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Normans Bay station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
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.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What else we do in Boreham Street
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Boreham Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Full insurance on every job
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

For landlords and businesses
