Fire rated sealant in Burdrop
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Burdrop, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
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.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Burdrop
Do you cover Burdrop for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Burdrop is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is Burdrop within the area you cover?
Yes. Burdrop is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Burdrop?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: 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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Community buildings like Church of Holy Trinity are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Why act early in Burdrop
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Burdrop, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Fully insured
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

What fire rated sealant looks like in Burdrop
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.
If you look after a building such as Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
