Workplaces and buildings in Brightwalton Green
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 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 All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Is Brightwalton Green in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Brightwalton Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Brightwalton Green?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
What affects the quote in Brightwalton Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
- The amount of work
- Access and height
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Common problems we fix in Brightwalton Green
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brightwalton C.E. Aided Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
