How we handle fire rated sealant in Aldington Frith
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. If you have seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help, on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and flats & HMOs alike.
Somewhere as small as Aldington Frith, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away

Around Aldington Frith, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aldington Frith questions
Can you do fire rated sealant in Aldington Frith?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Aldington Frith is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ham Street station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Aldington Frith, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Need a quote? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the job. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Why act early in Aldington Frith
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Aldington Frith, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
