About our fire rated sealant in Marsh Green
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We’re often asked to deal with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and new service routes left unsealed after building work, across linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Marsh Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Questions from Marsh Green
Do you cover smaller places like Marsh Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Marsh Green?
Yes, Marsh Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What we’re called out for in Marsh Green
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Schools such as Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Marsh Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, 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, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What else we do in Marsh Green
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Marsh Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Advice
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send photos if you have them.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Marsh Green
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Marsh Green, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like St. Mary's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the 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, then guaranteed for a year.
