Workplaces and buildings in Godinton
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Godinton. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Godinton Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

About our fire rated sealant in Godinton
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We are often asked to deal with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Around a place like Godinton, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Godinton
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For landlords with property near Ashford International station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Godinton: your questions answered
I let a flat near Ashford International station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Godinton?
Yes. Godinton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. A visit to Godinton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

- 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 files.
Before we arrive
