About our fire rated sealant in Horden
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and open joints along the top of partitions.
Somewhere as small as Horden, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Fire rated sealant around Horden
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, 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.
Letting a property close to Marden station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Horden is about 6 miles south-east of Paddock Wood, in Kent. Horden gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Horden is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We also work in Crawley, around 30 miles away.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Horden, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.

What else we do in Horden
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Horden
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
If you look after a building such as Colliers Green Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Horden questions
Is Horden in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Horden is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Marden station. Can you help?
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 price.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Horden?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
