About our fire rated sealant in Hodsoll Street
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We’re often asked to deal with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames.
Work in a small place like Hodsoll Street is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hodsoll Street
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Hodsoll Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Hodsoll Street?
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Saint Peter, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hodsoll Street
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
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 do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Fire rated sealant around Hodsoll Street
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.
If you let a flat or house near Meopham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Culverstone Green Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Advice
Hodsoll Street: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Meopham station?

Is Hodsoll Street within the area you cover?
Yes, Hodsoll Street is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
