Are you an approved applicator?

No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.

Fire rated sealant in Bragbury End
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. We are often asked to deal with gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on service penetrations, linear gaps and door frames.
For a small place like Bragbury End, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Bragbury End
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.
For buildings such as Longmeadow Evangelical Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Longmeadow Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we will tell you which one you have.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
For landlords with property near Knebworth station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Bragbury End, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Around Bragbury End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
