What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Linear gaps

Fire rated sealant in Kent Street, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
Work in a small place like Kent Street is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.

Asking for a quote

- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Fire rated sealant in Kent 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Lawrence's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Wateringbury station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as Kings Hill School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
