About our fire rated sealant in Lidsing
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment on buildings across Lidsing. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you have cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Lidsing, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we’re called out for in Lidsing
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Lidsing
Do you work for landlords with property near Rainham (Kent) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Lidsing?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
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, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
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. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Fire rated sealant around Lidsing
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Rainham (Kent) station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Swingate Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Lidsing, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
