Common questions in Crockenhill
Will you come out to Crockenhill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Swanley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Fire rated sealant in Crockenhill
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and linear gaps, and people most often call us about ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open joints along the top of partitions.
Work in a small place like Crockenhill is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:

- Which sealant suits the joint

What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:

- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we are sealing.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Crockenhill
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Crockenhill Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Swanley station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own

What we’re called out for in Crockenhill
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Community buildings like Church of All Souls are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the cure time is
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
