Fire rated sealant in Knox Bridge
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you’re dealing with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Knox Bridge, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Knox Bridge, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.

What else we do in Knox Bridge
Why act early in Knox Bridge
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Knox Bridge can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Is Knox Bridge within the area you cover?
Yes, Knox Bridge is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.

Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Knox Bridge
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Rented homes near Staplehurst station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the joint can take water or movement
