Do you need fire rated sealant in Kimbridge?
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
The most common problems we see are:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
For landlords with property near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What preparation is included
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is VAT in the price?

Commercial buildings in Kimbridge
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Awbridge Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Kimbridge: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Mottisfont & Dunbridge 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’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Kimbridge?
Yes. Kimbridge is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
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.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
