Fire rated sealant in Meopham
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. 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 gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames.
Around a place like Meopham, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Meopham and across Kent.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Meopham?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. 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:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Managing a site like Meopham Community Academy? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

- Whether you can choose the colour
- How much experience the applicator has

Fire rated sealant in Meopham: local notes
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Parish Church of St John the Baptist are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Meopham station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Meopham is about 4 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. Across the DA13 area, we can carry out fire rated sealant at your property. Our area takes in 922 places across Kent, large and small. We also work in London, around 21 miles away.

When it isn’t the sealant

What we seal
- Linear gaps

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps

Flats and HMOs

How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In a smaller place like Meopham, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. In a smaller place like Meopham, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
