How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we’ll tell you.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
About our fire rated sealant in Ebbsfleet Valley
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We’re often asked to deal with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, on linear gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Ebbsfleet Valley, 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 something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Ebbsfleet Valley
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
If you look after a building such as Cherry Orchard Primary Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with

Ebbsfleet Valley questions
Do you cover smaller places like Ebbsfleet Valley?
Yes. Ebbsfleet Valley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ebbsfleet International station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking around Ebbsfleet Valley is normally 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.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Leave it or put it right?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Homes in smaller places like Ebbsfleet Valley can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Ebbsfleet Valley
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you let a flat or house near Ebbsfleet International station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
