Fire rated sealant in Bidborough, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you are dealing with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right, on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Bidborough, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Why act early in Bidborough
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bidborough can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Workplaces and buildings in Bidborough
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Southborough CofE Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Leigh (Kent) station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.

Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Surface by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Bidborough?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
Community buildings like Parish Church of St Lawrence are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
What happens on the day
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 anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Bidborough, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints
