How we handle fire rated sealant in Chalksole Green
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. We work on door frames, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
Somewhere as small as Chalksole Green, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Fire rated sealant in Chalksole Green: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Chalksole Green, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Kearsney station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Chalksole Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chalksole Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
What we are called out for in Chalksole Green
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Look out for any of the following:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For buildings such as Church of St Anthony the Martyr, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
