Workplaces and buildings in Littlebourne
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Littlebourne. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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 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 Vincent, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Littlebourne Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Bekesbourne station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

About our fire rated sealant in Littlebourne
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and the jobs we see most are old fire sealant that has split or come away and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Littlebourne, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a small place like Littlebourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Littlebourne
Do you work in hotels near Littlebourne?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bekesbourne station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Landlord and commercial work in Littlebourne
Landlords and agents in Littlebourne can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Littlebourne, 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.
- 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.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
