Fire Rated Sealant in Brading
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for householders, landlords and businesses in Brading. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
About our fire rated sealant in Brading
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you are dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and linear gaps alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Brading, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

For anyone letting property in or around Brading, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Brading, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is 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.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Brading can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Commercial buildings in Brading
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Brading, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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.
Schools such as Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Brading station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Questions from Brading
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Brading station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Brading?
Yes. Brading is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Brading?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
What we are called out for in Brading
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St. Mary's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
