Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Chatham Green
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We’re often asked to deal with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and pipe & cable gaps.
Work in a small place like Chatham Green is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Chatham Green needs a little journey planning: 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.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Chatham Green
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For landlords with property near Beaulieu Park station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What preparation is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Other services in Chatham Green
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Around Chatham Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
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.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
