Anvil Green Fire Rated Sealant
We cover Anvil Green for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Assessing a building’s fire safety

Fire rated sealant in Anvil Green, done properly
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Anvil Green. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on service penetrations, door frames and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are fire stopping disturbed by later work and open joints along the top of partitions.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Anvil Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.

What else we do in Anvil Green
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Why it’s worth doing now in Anvil Green
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Anvil Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Fire rated sealant in Anvil Green: local notes
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Bartholomew, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Rented homes near Chilham station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment.

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Anvil Green is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.

Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
