How we handle fire rated sealant in Blean
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can help, on door frames, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps alike.
In a village or hamlet like Blean, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Blean
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Around Blean, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Commercial buildings in Blean
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Blean Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Cosmus and St Damian, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Blean can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Blean: your questions answered
Can you do fire rated sealant in Blean?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Blean is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Blean within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Blean?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Blean needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out 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 for your files.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Do you need fire rated sealant in Blean?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
The most common problems we see are:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Letting a property close to Canterbury West station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
