Fire rated sealant in Burridge, done properly
We don’t 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. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about open joints along the top of partitions and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Burridge, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Burridge: your questions answered
Do you cover Burridge for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Burridge is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Swanwick station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Burridge needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Fire rated sealant in Burridge: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Whiteley Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why act early in Burridge
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Burridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Burridge
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Letting a property close to Swanwick station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
