Fire-rated sealant in Halling, Medway
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Halling? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.

- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Halling
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Rented homes near Halling station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Halling
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have linear gaps at the head of walls and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and pipe & cable gaps alike.
Work in a small place like Halling is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Where are you based?

Do you provide details of the products used?

Will the old sealant be removed?

Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
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.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Halling, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Fire rated sealant around Halling
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Schools such as Halling Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Church of St John the Baptist are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
