Fire rated sealant in Lynsore Bottom
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Lynsore Bottom, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lynsore Bottom
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lynsore Bottom can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Every job is quoted individually. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Lynsore Bottom
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.
Rented homes near Bekesbourne station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Lynsore Bottom
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
