How we handle fire rated sealant in Horsmonden
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 the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you’re dealing with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can help, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Horsmonden, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Horsmonden and across Kent.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Horsmonden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Fire rated sealant in Horsmonden: local notes
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 landlords with property near Paddock Wood station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Schools such as Horsmonden Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Common questions in Horsmonden
Do you cover smaller places like Horsmonden?
Yes, Horsmonden is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Horsmonden in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Horsmonden is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Horsmonden?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
What fire rating will the seal have?
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.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Horsmonden, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
