Brabourne Fire Rated Sealant
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homes and businesses in Brabourne and across Kent. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Fire rated sealant in Brabourne, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you’re dealing with new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Brabourne, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Brabourne, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Brabourne
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Westenhanger station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Brabourne?
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.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Fire rated sealant in Brabourne: local notes
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.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as Brabourne Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

When to call us in Brabourne
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.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
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.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
