Common problems we fix in Haine
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Rented homes near Ramsgate station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Haine, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Haine
For anyone letting property in or around Haine, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Fire rated sealant around Haine
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Haine, 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Dame Janet Primary Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like St Christopher's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
