Fire rated sealant in Awbridge
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. Typical jobs include gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, across linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Awbridge, 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.

Awbridge questions
Is Awbridge in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Awbridge is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. 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 does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Why it’s worth doing now in Awbridge
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Awbridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

When to call us in Awbridge
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Schools such as Awbridge Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Awbridge needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What affects the quote in Awbridge
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work in Awbridge
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
