About our fire rated sealant in Bramdean
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. Common call-outs are for fire seals that have cracked with movement and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Bramdean, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Bramdean as everywhere else we work.

Workplaces and buildings in Bramdean
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Around Bramdean, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Simon and St Jude, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a small place like Bramdean, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.

What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Bramdean, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints
How to get a quote

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Bramdean
Will you come out to Bramdean?
Yes. Bramdean is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
