How we handle fire rated sealant in Deal
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t 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. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and people most often call us about seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
Shared washrooms take far more use than a home bathroom, and their sealant shows it, and fire-rated joints need restoring whenever new services are run through a wall. In Deal, timings are planned around the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking in a town like Deal is usually straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What fire rated sealant looks like in Deal
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Deal, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Deal station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as St Saviour's, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Deal
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Deal?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Deal?
Yes, Deal is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Deal?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
When to call us in Deal
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
If you look after a building such as Castle Community College, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long the guarantee is
- Is VAT in the price?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
