About our fire rated sealant in Boughton Corner
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. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and service penetrations, and people most often call us about fire seals that have cracked with movement and open gaps behind door architraves.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Boughton Corner, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Boughton Corner
Is Boughton Corner in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Boughton Corner is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Wye station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Boughton Corner?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Do you seal gaps around fire 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.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Boughton Corner
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Schools such as Lady Joanna Thornhill Endowed Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Boughton Corner, 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.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Fire rated sealant around Boughton Corner
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 landlords with property near Wye station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like All Saints’ Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
