Fire rated sealant in Brock Hill
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
In a village or hamlet like Brock Hill, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Do you cover Brock Hill for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Brock Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Brock Hill
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Managing a site like Beauchamps High School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building 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?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Brock Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Advice
What we are called out for in Brock Hill
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Rented homes near Wickford station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
