About our fire rated sealant in Kingsnorth
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you are dealing with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Kingsnorth, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Kingsnorth
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you look after a building such as Kingsnorth Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Kingsnorth, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Landlord and commercial work in Kingsnorth
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Commercial buildings in Kingsnorth
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Ashford International station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Kingsnorth: your questions answered
Is Kingsnorth within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Kingsnorth?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Kingsnorth is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Kingsnorth?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
