Highsted Fire Rated Sealant
We cover Highsted for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.

Fire rated sealant in Highsted
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’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. If you are dealing with open joints along the top of partitions and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Highsted, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Highsted
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Fire rated sealant around Highsted
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Highsted. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Rodmersham School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Sittingbourne station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Highsted questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Sittingbourne station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Highsted?
Yes, Highsted is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Highsted, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Why act early in Highsted
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Highsted, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.
