The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Brenchley, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs

- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Brenchley
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
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:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
Common questions in Brenchley
Do you work for landlords with property near Paddock Wood station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Brenchley in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Brenchley is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
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.
Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Brenchley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Every job guaranteed for a year

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Brenchley can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Commercial buildings in Brenchley
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 Parish Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Paddock Wood station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
