Fire-rated sealant in Broomfield, Kent
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Broomfield, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
About our fire rated sealant in Broomfield
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. 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. Typical jobs include sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and new service routes left unsealed after building work, on service penetrations, door frames and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Broomfield, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we are called out for in Broomfield
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Letting a property close to Herne Bay station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Broomfield: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Broomfield?
Yes. Broomfield is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Broomfield?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Broomfield is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Around Broomfield, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Fire rated sealant around Broomfield
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Broomfield, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Herne Church of England Infant School, 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 Bartholomew, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Broomfield, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
