Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Kemsley Street
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. If you’re dealing with new service routes left unsealed after building work and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Kemsley Street, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Kemsley Street, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Fire rated sealant in Kemsley Street: 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Rainham (Kent) station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Deanwood Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Landmarks near Kemsley Street
Typical jobs here are in homes near Rainham School for Girls and Levan Strice and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Rainham (Kent) station, roughly 2.5 miles north-east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include KIMS hospital (3.5 miles south-west) and Allington Castle (4.3 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Burham Down and Detling Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Questions from Kemsley Street
Is Kemsley Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Kemsley Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Rainham (Kent) station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
