Workplaces and buildings in Brede
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Doleham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brede Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Fire rated sealant in Brede, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are open holes round services passing through fire walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
For a small place like Brede, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start so residents know what to expect.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Landlord and commercial work in Brede
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
For anyone letting property in or around Brede, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.
Why act early in Brede
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a small place like Brede, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Fully insured
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Brede, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Do you need fire rated sealant in Brede?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St George are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Is Brede 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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
