DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
About our fire rated sealant in Maltman's Hill
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. Common call-outs are for seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and open holes round services passing through fire walls, across pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Maltman's Hill, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Maltman's Hill and across Kent.

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
What we’re called out for in Maltman's Hill
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Look out for these signs:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Around Maltman's Hill, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. 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. Around Maltman's Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
