About our fire rated sealant in Donkey Street
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Common call-outs are for sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, across door frames, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
In a village or hamlet like Donkey Street, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Donkey Street
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Donkey 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Common questions in Donkey Street
Will you come out to Donkey Street?
Yes. Donkey 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.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Donkey Street?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Donkey Street is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Donkey Street and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What we’re called out for in Donkey Street
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
