How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Commercial buildings in Horton Kirby
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of Saint Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Farningham Road station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Managing a site like Horton Kirby Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Horton Kirby, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why act early in Horton Kirby
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In a small place like Horton Kirby, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
