How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Boughton Green needs a little journey planning: 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 begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Boughton Green
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 Boughton Monchelsea Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Coxheath Congregational Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Boughton Green is about 2 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. From the centre of Boughton Green to the outskirts, we cover fire rated sealant for every kind of property. Boughton Green is one of 922 places in Kent where we work. Crawley is on our list too, around 32 miles away.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Older cottages and farmhouses around Boughton Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system

FAQs for Boughton Green
Can you do fire rated sealant in Boughton Green?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Boughton Green is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Boughton Green?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
When to call us in Boughton Green
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Letting a property close to East Farleigh station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
