Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Badgers Mount
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We are often asked to deal with open joints along the top of partitions and fire stopping disturbed by later work, across service penetrations, linear gaps and door frames.
Somewhere as small as Badgers Mount, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Badgers Mount?
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
If you look after a building such as Halstead Community Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Somewhere as small as Badgers Mount, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
Rather than a set price list, 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.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first.

Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Why act early in Badgers Mount
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Badgers Mount can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Fire rated sealant in Badgers Mount: 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Knockholt station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as St Margaret's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
