Fire rated sealant in Keycol, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are linear gaps at the head of walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
In a village or hamlet like Keycol, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.

Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Keycol
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Older cottages and farmhouses around Keycol can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Keycol, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

Fire rated sealant in Keycol: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Keycol, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Bartholomew, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Newington station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a building such as Borden Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
