Why act early in Hacklinge
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hacklinge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Fire rated sealant in Hacklinge: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Hacklinge, 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St George, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Worth Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

FAQs for Hacklinge
Do you cover smaller places like Hacklinge?
Yes. Hacklinge is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Hacklinge?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hacklinge is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, 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.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
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. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Hacklinge 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.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- 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.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
How to get a quote

- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
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 are called out for in Hacklinge
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Letting a property close to Sandwich station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
