What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
About our fire rated sealant in Bullingstone
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. If you’re dealing with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Bullingstone, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Bullingstone and everywhere else we cover.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Bullingstone, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bullingstone, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Common problems we fix in Bullingstone
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Managing a site like Speldhurst Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Common questions in Bullingstone
I let a flat near Tunbridge Wells station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Bullingstone?
Yes, Bullingstone is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Bullingstone?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Commercial buildings in Bullingstone
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Tunbridge Wells station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
