Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Chestnut Street
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on door frames, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged fire sealant left by other trades and holes left by a change of layout.
Somewhere as small as Chestnut Street, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Chestnut Street and across Kent.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chestnut Street
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chestnut Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What we’re called out for in Chestnut Street
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Letting a property close to Newington station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Chestnut Street
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Chestnut Street, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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.
Managing a site like Borden Church of England Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
