What fire rated sealant looks like in Kingsdown
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like The Sittingbourne School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Church of St Catherine, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Kingsdown
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on, one gap at a time. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are open holes round services passing through fire walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Kingsdown, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Kingsdown
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Teynham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Kingsdown?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Kingsdown, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Why it’s worth doing now in Kingsdown
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Kingsdown can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingsdown
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
