About our fire rated sealant in Kettle Corner
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have open joints along the top of partitions and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Kettle Corner is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Kettle Corner
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to East Farleigh station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Church of St Margaret are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Kettle Corner?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Managing a site like Barming Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
