Workplaces and buildings in Broomfield
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. 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 St Margaret, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Hollingbourne station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

About our fire rated sealant in Broomfield
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. 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. Typical jobs include linear gaps at the head of walls and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on linear gaps, door frames and service penetrations.
For a small place like Broomfield, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
When to call us in Broomfield
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether VAT is included
What else we do in Broomfield
Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a small place like Broomfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- We are fully insured
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps

What affects the quote in Broomfield
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: 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.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Broomfield, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Questions from Broomfield
I let a flat near Hollingbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Broomfield in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Broomfield is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Broomfield?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
