About our fire rated sealant in Ebbsfleet
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have new service routes left unsealed after building work and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can put it right.
For a small place like Ebbsfleet, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Workplaces and buildings in Ebbsfleet
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Ebbsfleet, 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. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
In and around Ebbsfleet, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Letting a property close to Thanet Parkway station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Ebbsfleet, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.

For anyone letting property in or around Ebbsfleet, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
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.
Ebbsfleet questions
Will you come out to Ebbsfleet?
Yes, Ebbsfleet is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Ebbsfleet for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Ebbsfleet is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Ebbsfleet?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that doesn’t depend on other work. Around Ebbsfleet, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
