Fire-rated sealant in Faversham, Kent

- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.

Fire rated sealant in Faversham: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Faversham, 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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Faversham. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Rented homes near Faversham station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as Ethelbert Road Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Questions from Faversham
Do you work for landlords with property near Faversham station?
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 quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Faversham?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Faversham?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In Faversham, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Advice
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What affects the quote in Faversham
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Around Faversham, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
