About our fire rated sealant in Broad Oak
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you have new service routes left unsealed after building work and open gaps behind door architraves, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Broad Oak, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Broad Oak, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Broad Oak, 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.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Fire rated sealant in Broad Oak: 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Nicholas' Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Sturry Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Sturry station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
