Workplaces and buildings in Lewson Street
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Lewson Street, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. 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 Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. 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.

Why deal with it now?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Around Lewson Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
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.
What we’re called out for in Lewson Street
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
Schools such as Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What insurance they hold
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Lewson Street, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Advice
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Common questions in Lewson Street
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Teynham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Lewson Street for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lewson Street is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
