Fire rated sealant in Breach
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. 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 are dealing with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can help.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Breach, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Landlord and commercial work in Breach
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Landlords and letting agents in Breach can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Breach
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Breach
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Rented homes near Newington station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Workplaces and buildings in Breach
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Breach, 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. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like Newington Church of England Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Breach questions
Do you cover smaller places like Breach?
Yes. Breach is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Newington station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
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.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
