How we handle fire rated sealant in Brogdale
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We are often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and linear gaps at the head of walls, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
For a small place like Brogdale, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Brogdale
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Brogdale?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I let a flat near Faversham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How the job changes by surface
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.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts to keep disruption down.
Why it’s worth doing now in Brogdale
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Brogdale, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Fire rated sealant around Brogdale
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Brogdale. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Ospringe Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Faversham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Brogdale, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brogdale
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Access and height
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
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.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
