Commercial buildings in Fosten Green
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.
If you let a flat or house near Headcorn station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Fire rated sealant in Fosten Green
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. We’re often asked to deal with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
In a village or hamlet like Fosten Green, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Landlord and commercial work in Fosten Green
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The amount of work
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

FAQs for Fosten Green
Is Fosten Green in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Fosten Green is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Fosten Green?
Yes. Fosten Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
What we’re called out for in Fosten Green
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Look out for these signs:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Margaret's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether you can choose the colour
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Fosten Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
