What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

What we’re called out for in Chainhurst
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
In and around Chainhurst, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Chainhurst
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Marden station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Chainhurst, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.

FAQs for Chainhurst
Do you cover smaller places like Chainhurst?
Yes, Chainhurst is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Marden station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
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. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Other services in Chainhurst
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like Chainhurst, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask which product was used before you paint
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.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
