Fire rated sealant in Eastry
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about damaged fire sealant left by other trades and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Eastry, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. Parking around Eastry is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Eastry
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Eastry
Is Eastry within the area you cover?
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.
Is Eastry in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Eastry is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Door frames

Fire rated sealant around Eastry
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to Sandwich station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Eastry Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Why it’s worth doing now in Eastry
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In a smaller place like Eastry, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
