Fire rated sealant in Broughton, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We are often asked to deal with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
In a smaller place like Broughton, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
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 Broughton
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.
Schools such as Broughton Fields Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Woburn Sands station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Broughton is about 3 miles east of Milton Keynes, in Milton Keynes. We carry out fire rated sealant for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Broughton and nearby. Our Milton Keynes coverage runs to 73 places, and Broughton is one of them. For nearby work, see our Oxford page.

What we’re called out for in Broughton
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Lawrence's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether you can choose the colour
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a job in Broughton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Broughton questions
Is Broughton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Woburn Sands station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
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.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
