How we handle fire rated sealant in Foxendown
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on door frames, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
Work in a small place like Foxendown is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Advice
Why act early in Foxendown
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Around Foxendown, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Foxendown
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For landlords with property near Sole Street station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Foxendown
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Parish Church of St John the Baptist are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Meopham Community Academy are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
