Lympne questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Westenhanger station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Lympne within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Lympne?

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Lympne
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Typical jobs include open holes round services passing through fire walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work, on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Somewhere as small as Lympne, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What else we do in Lympne
Why it’s worth doing now in Lympne
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Around Lympne, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Full insurance on every job
- Over 20 years’ experience

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What affects the quote in Lympne
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Lympne, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- 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.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Commercial buildings in Lympne
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Lympne, 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, 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.
For landlords with property near Westenhanger station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lympne Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Church of St Stephen are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
