Fire rated sealant in Chillenden
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We are often asked to deal with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and open gaps behind door architraves, across plasterboard & masonry, door frames and flats & HMOs.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Chillenden, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Common problems we fix in Chillenden
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Managing a site like Goodnestone Church of England Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Chillenden, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chillenden
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chillenden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Chillenden questions
Is Chillenden in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chillenden is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aylesham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Chillenden
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Letting a property close to Aylesham station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
