Fire rated sealant in Challock
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and holes left by a change of layout.
In a village or hamlet like Challock, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What affects the quote in Challock
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The amount of work
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.

Fire rated sealant in Challock: local notes
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Wye station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Schools such as Challock Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Common problems we fix in Challock
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Cosmas and St Damian, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What happens if it’s left?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Around Challock, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Tidy, careful work
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Challock
Do you cover smaller places like Challock?
Yes, we do. 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 Wye station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
The process
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. In a small place like Challock, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
