Fire rated sealant in Finglesham
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across Finglesham. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you are dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Finglesham, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Why act early in Finglesham
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Finglesham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Finglesham
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Finglesham, 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. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as Northbourne Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Church of St George are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
What do you need from me for a quote?

Common problems we fix in Finglesham
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Rented homes near Sandwich station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
