Fire Rated Sealant in Fleeden
Fire-stopping gaps in Fleeden need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Fire rated sealant in Fleeden
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Fleeden, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fleeden
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fleeden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Commercial buildings in Fleeden
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as John Wallis Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Pluckley station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

When it isn’t the sealant

- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution

What else we do in Fleeden
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we’ll flag it.
