Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Great Mongeham
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you are dealing with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Great Mongeham, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Great Mongeham and across Kent.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Great Mongeham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Great Mongeham
Do you cover smaller places like Great Mongeham?
Yes. Great Mongeham 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 Great Mongeham in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Great Mongeham is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Great Mongeham?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hornbeam Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What guarantee comes with the work
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we will flag it.
Fire rated sealant around Great Mongeham
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Great Mongeham, 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Martin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Walmer station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
