Fire rated sealant in Goathurst Common, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you’re dealing with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can help, on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs alike.
For a small place like Goathurst Common, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Goathurst Common
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary at South End of Village Green, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Ide Hill Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Sevenoaks station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Goathurst Common questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sevenoaks station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Goathurst Common?
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.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
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.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Goathurst Common?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can I do it myself?
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.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Goathurst Common needs a little journey planning: 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.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
If you’re in Goathurst Common and need fire rated sealant, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before we start.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs 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.
