Aylesham Fire Rated Sealant
Our applicators work in Aylesham on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
About our fire rated sealant in Aylesham
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on door frames, service penetrations and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Aylesham, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Aylesham and everywhere else we cover.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Aylesham can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In an older home around Aylesham, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Commercial buildings in Aylesham
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Peter, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Aylesham Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Different surfaces, different methods
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 isn’t the right fix.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Questions from Aylesham
Will you come out to Aylesham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Aylesham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Aylesham?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Look out for these signs:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open joints along the top of partitions
If you let a flat or house near Aylesham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking around Aylesham is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
