What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps

Fire rated sealant in Broad Ford, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, across flats & HMOs, service penetrations and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Broad Ford, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Fire rated sealant around Broad Ford
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Horsmonden Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Church of St Margaret, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. In a small place like Broad Ford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

When to call us in Broad Ford
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Letting a property close to Marden station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Broad Ford: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Marden station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Broad Ford?
Yes, Broad Ford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Broad Ford, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
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 the sealant goes in.
What affects the quote in Broad Ford
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
