How we handle fire rated sealant in Boughton Lees
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
Somewhere as small as Boughton Lees, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Boughton Lees and everywhere else we cover.

What we’re called out for in Boughton Lees
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
For buildings such as Saint Christopher's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Commercial buildings in Boughton Lees
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Towers School and Sixth Form Centre, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Wye station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Boughton Lees?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.

Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Boughton Lees
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we’ll tell you which one you have.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Boughton Lees, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
