Godmersham Fire Rated Sealant
Our applicators work in Godmersham on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open joints along the top of partitions
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Godmersham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Godmersham
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged fire sealant left by other trades and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
Somewhere as small as Godmersham, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Fire rated sealant around Godmersham
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Lawrence are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

FAQs for Godmersham
Do you cover Godmersham for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Godmersham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Godmersham?
Yes, Godmersham is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Godmersham
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Letting a property close to Chilham station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long the guarantee is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Godmersham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why Godmersham clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Fully insured
- Arbo and Everbuild products

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
