How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Kingsnorth, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What do you need from me for a quote?

Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Landlord and commercial work in Kingsnorth
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Kingsnorth and across Medway. We can quote a run of properties together.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Commercial buildings in Kingsnorth
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Kingsnorth, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hundred of Hoo Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kingsnorth
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Kingsnorth, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Kingsnorth
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.

- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For landlords with property near Gillingham (Kent) station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
