About our fire rated sealant in Boughton Monchelsea
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. Typical jobs include holes left by a change of layout and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, across service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Boughton Monchelsea, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Workplaces and buildings in Boughton Monchelsea
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Boughton Monchelsea Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Boughton Monchelsea, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Tidy, careful work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Old sealant always removed completely

Common questions in Boughton Monchelsea
Do you cover smaller places like Boughton Monchelsea?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Boughton Monchelsea?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Boughton Monchelsea is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

When to call us in Boughton Monchelsea
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For landlords with property near East Farleigh station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Boughton Monchelsea, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What the job involves on each surface

We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
