For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Chilmington Green, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.

What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Around Chilmington Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Commercial buildings in Chilmington Green
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like Great Chart Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Ashford International station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Chilmington Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
