Fire Rated Sealant in Herne Pound
Fire-stopping gaps in Herne Pound need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Fire rated sealant in Herne Pound, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps.

Commercial buildings in Herne Pound
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as St Lawrence's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Mereworth Community Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For landlords with property near Wateringbury station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Herne Pound, access is normally 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.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What affects the quote in Herne Pound
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Herne Pound: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Wateringbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Herne Pound?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Herne Pound?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Why it’s worth doing now in Herne Pound
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Herne Pound, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.
