Fire-rated sealant in Goodnestone, Kent
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homes and businesses in Goodnestone and across Kent. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we’ll tell you which one you have.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Goodnestone
We don’t 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. Common call-outs are for gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
For a small place like Goodnestone, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Is Goodnestone in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Goodnestone is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Goodnestone within the area you cover?
Yes, Goodnestone 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.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Goodnestone?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Workplaces and buildings in Goodnestone
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Goodnestone, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Graveney Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Faversham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What we are called out for in Goodnestone
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Bartholomew's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Goodnestone and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
