Commercial buildings in Further Quarter
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.
If you let a flat or house near Pluckley station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Further Quarter
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In a small place like Further Quarter, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Questions from Further Quarter
Is Further Quarter in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Further Quarter is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Further Quarter?
Yes, Further Quarter is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Further Quarter, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
