Fire rated sealant in Bredhurst, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on. Typical jobs include gaps left after a refit or conversion and open gaps behind door architraves, on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Bredhurst, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Bredhurst and across Medway.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.

Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Bredhurst, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry

- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Fire rated sealant in Bredhurst: local notes
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Rainham (Kent) station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Deanwood Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
