How we handle fire rated sealant in Cooling Street
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. If you have fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can put it right.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Cooling Street, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Cooling Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Fire rated sealant around Cooling Street
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Cooling Street, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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, 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.
For landlords with property near Higham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Cliffe Woods Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as St James' Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Cooling Street is about 4 miles north of Rochester, in Medway. Across the ME3 area, our applicators can take on fire rated sealant. Cooling Street is one of 68 towns and villages in Medway we cover. We also work in Chelmsford, around 20 miles away.

Around Cooling Street
We work in homes and buildings around The Hundred of Hoo Academy, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Higham station, roughly 2.2 miles south-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Huguenot Museum (3.7 miles south) and French Hospital (3.8 miles south). Not far away are Gad's Hill and Rede Common.
Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. In a small place like Cooling Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
