More services for Branbridges
Do you need fire rated sealant in Branbridges?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Schools such as East Peckham Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
What affects the quote in Branbridges
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Branbridges
Do you work for landlords with property near Beltring station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Branbridges within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long does fire rated sealant take?

Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
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.
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.
Fire rated sealant in Branbridges: local notes
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.
For buildings such as Church of the Holy Trinity, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Beltring station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
