Fire rated sealant in Graveney, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Typical jobs include open holes round services passing through fire walls and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Graveney, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.

Why deal with it now?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Graveney, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Graveney, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Graveney?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What product goes in the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware

FAQs for Graveney
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Faversham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Graveney?
Yes. Graveney 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.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Fire rated sealant in Graveney: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Graveney, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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, 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.
Letting a property close to Faversham station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as Graveney Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
