Fire rated sealant in Chartham, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you’re dealing with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can help, on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Chartham, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chartham
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chartham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.
Why us?
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Fully insured
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

What affects the quote in Chartham
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, 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 to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Should I try it myself first?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chartham
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Chartham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Do you need fire rated sealant in Chartham?
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
Questions from Chartham
Do you cover Chartham for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chartham is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Chartham?
Yes. Chartham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Fire rated sealant around Chartham
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chartham Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Chartham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
