Fire rated sealant across Medway: what to expect

We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Medway. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are holes left by a change of layout and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.

You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job.

  1. We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
  2. We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
  3. We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
  4. The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
  5. We record the locations and products used for your records.

How we quote

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Where we work in Medway

From Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester to its smaller places, Medway has workplaces, hotels and schools with joints to look after.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in Medway, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in. Along the coast in Medway, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, and that’s where sealant usually gives up first. The right product and careful preparation help it last.

Gillingham: For landlords with property near Gillingham (Kent) station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Holy Trinity Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

For landlords and businesses

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant

We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:

  • The product the joint needs
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • How many areas need sealing
  • How much there is to do

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What to tell us for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • If someone has resealed it before
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs

Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.

When it isn’t the sealant

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

  • Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
  • Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
  • Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system

Surface by surface

Plasterboard walls

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

Service penetrations

Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Medway questions

How long does the job take?

As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.

What does fire rated sealant cost?

We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.

Are you insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.

What sealant do you use?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.

What information do you need?

Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.

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.
