Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Great Bromley
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. 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. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and people most often call us about fire stopping disturbed by later work and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
In a village or hamlet like Great Bromley, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Fire rated sealant around Great Bromley
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St George's Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Alresford station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What else we do in Great Bromley
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
Common questions in Great Bromley
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Alresford station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Great Bromley in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Great Bromley is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
When to call us in Great Bromley
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Community buildings like Church of St George are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
