About our fire rated sealant in Greenhill
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on. If you’re dealing with open holes round services passing through fire walls and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Greenhill usually means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why act early in Greenhill
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In an older home around Greenhill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Fully insured

Workplaces and buildings in Greenhill
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Greenhill, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Herne Bay station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Thornden Wood Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Common problems we fix in Greenhill
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Community buildings like St Peter are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
