Your questions about fire rated sealant in Bethersden
Do you cover Bethersden for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bethersden is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Bethersden?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.

What we are called out for in Bethersden
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.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For landlords with property near Pluckley station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the colour is chosen
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Bethersden needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
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, following the tested detail.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating

What fire rated sealant looks like in Bethersden
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 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 Margaret, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Bethersden Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
