How we handle fire rated sealant in Boughton under Blean
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Boughton under Blean, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why it’s worth doing now in Boughton under Blean
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Around Boughton under Blean, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
When to call us in Boughton under Blean
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Letting a property close to Selling station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What product goes in the joint

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Boughton under Blean
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few pictures by email, if you can
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
