About our fire rated sealant in Kenardington
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Common call-outs are for sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on service penetrations, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
For a small place like Kenardington, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kenardington
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Around Kenardington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why Kenardington customers choose us

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Fire rated sealant in Kenardington: local notes
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 Appledore (Kent) station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Kenardington?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
