About our fire rated sealant in Bekesbourne
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you are dealing with open gaps behind door architraves and open joints along the top of partitions, we can put it right, on linear gaps, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps alike.
In a village or hamlet like Bekesbourne, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bekesbourne
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 is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bekesbourne can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why Bekesbourne clients choose us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Fire rated sealant in Bekesbourne: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as St. Anselm's Catholic School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For landlords with property near Bekesbourne station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlord and commercial work in Bekesbourne
If you manage several properties in or around Bekesbourne, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
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.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
