Common questions in Deerton Street
I let a flat near Teynham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Deerton Street?
Yes. Deerton Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Does someone need to be in?
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.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
About our fire rated sealant in Deerton Street
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on service penetrations, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are gaps left after a refit or conversion and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
For a small place like Deerton Street, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we cannot put right

- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Deerton Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Fire rated sealant in Deerton Street: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Deerton Street, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Teynham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Why act early in Deerton Street
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a small place like Deerton Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
