What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. The job normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a job in Chatham Waterfront, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Chatham Waterfront
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. Typical jobs include holes left by a change of layout and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, on flats & HMOs, door frames and service penetrations.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Chatham Waterfront normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Chatham Waterfront as everywhere else we work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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.

Other services in Chatham Waterfront
Do you need fire rated sealant in Chatham Waterfront?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Community buildings like Church of St John the Divine are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
