Fire-rated sealant in Danaway, Kent
We cover Danaway for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Fire rated sealant in Danaway, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have open joints along the top of partitions and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Danaway, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why act early in Danaway
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Danaway, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Over 20 years’ experience

Commercial buildings in Danaway
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Newington station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Borden Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
How the visit works
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. In a small place like Danaway, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
When to call us in Danaway
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How much experience the applicator has
- What preparation is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What affects the quote in Danaway
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
