In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
Landlord and commercial work in Brookstreet
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured.
Why act early in Brookstreet
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Brookstreet, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
When to call us in Brookstreet
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Managing a site like The Flitch Green Academy? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Advice
Common questions in Brookstreet
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Brookstreet?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Brookstreet in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Brookstreet is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Brookstreet?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
