Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Lenham Heath
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. If you have damaged fire sealant left by other trades and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Lenham Heath, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.

Common problems we fix in Lenham Heath
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Schools such as The Lenham School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

FAQs for Lenham Heath
Do you cover smaller places like Lenham Heath?
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.

Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Workplaces and buildings in Lenham Heath
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Lenham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Church of the Holy Trinity are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

- Whether it has been sealed before

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Lenham Heath, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit

- Clear the area around the work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
