Workplaces and buildings in Mount Bures
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Bures station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like Bures Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Baptist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

FAQs for Mount Bures
Do you cover smaller places like Mount Bures?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Mount Bures for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Mount Bures is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Why act early in Mount Bures
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mount Bures can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
