If you’re dealing with old fire sealant that has split or come away and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can help.
Work in a small place like Longfield Hill is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Fire rated sealant in Longfield Hill: local notes
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.
Community buildings like Church of St Mildred are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Istead Rise Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Meopham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In a small place like Longfield Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
