Aylesford Fire Rated Sealant
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Aylesford. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a job in Aylesford, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Fire rated sealant in Aylesford
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. 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. If you are dealing with fire stopping disturbed by later work and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Aylesford, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a smaller place like Aylesford, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Aylesford?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work

Can tenants book the work?

Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

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.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
