About our fire rated sealant in Broadley Common
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, across linear gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry.
Somewhere as small as Broadley Common, 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Broadley Common
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
Managing a site like Water Lane Primary Academy? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Other services in Broadley Common
Why act early in Broadley Common
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Around Broadley Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
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.
Fire rated sealant around Broadley Common
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.
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Roydon station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Broadley Common: your questions answered
Can you do fire rated sealant in Broadley Common?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Broadley Common is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is Broadley Common within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.

- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Broadley Common needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
