Fire rated sealant in High Brooms
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in High Brooms. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. Common call-outs are for open gaps behind door architraves and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on door frames, service penetrations and linear gaps.
Commercial work around a smaller place like High Brooms normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the amount of work. In a smaller place like High Brooms, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. In an older home around High Brooms, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

Signs you need fire rated sealant in High Brooms
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St John's Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- How hidden problems are handled
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not

High Brooms questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in High Brooms?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is High Brooms within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
