Fire rated sealant in Chegworth, done properly
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, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. Typical jobs include open holes round services passing through fire walls and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations.
In a village or hamlet like Chegworth, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Chegworth
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Harrietsham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Chegworth in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Chegworth is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

What affects the quote in Chegworth
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the property is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
For fire rated sealant in Chegworth, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chegworth, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Landlord and commercial work in Chegworth
If you manage several properties in or around Chegworth, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Chegworth and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Chegworth
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Harrietsham Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Harrietsham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
