About our fire rated sealant in Broadwater
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you’re dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and holes left by a change of layout, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Broadwater, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What else we do in Broadwater
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and the area is left clean. For a job in Broadwater, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why it’s worth doing now in Broadwater
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a smaller place like Broadwater, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

- Open joints along the top of partitions
- New service routes left unsealed after building work

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
