Fire rated sealant in Marley
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and people most often call us about open gaps behind door architraves and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Marley, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Marley
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. In a small place like Marley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work 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 Marley, 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.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Marley
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Fire rated sealant in Marley: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Marley, 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Augustine, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Northbourne Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Sandwich station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Marley questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandwich station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Marley within the area you cover?
Yes. Marley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Marley and the rest of Kent.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
