Fire-rated sealant in Frittenden, Kent

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Frittenden
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. 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’re dealing with holes left by a change of layout and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Frittenden, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
What affects the quote in Frittenden
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Fire rated sealant around Frittenden
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Managing a site like Frittenden Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. 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. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Frittenden can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Frittenden, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
