About our fire rated sealant in Bredgar
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. If you’re dealing with old fire sealant that has split or come away and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can put it right.
For a small place like Bredgar, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Bredgar
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Bredgar Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Sittingbourne station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Baptist, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Bredgar, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.

What else we do in Bredgar
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
