Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Mersham
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Common call-outs are for fire seals that have cracked with movement and linear gaps at the head of walls, on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and linear gaps.
Somewhere as small as Mersham, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
FAQs for Mersham
Do you work for landlords with property near Ashford International station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Mersham within the area you cover?
Yes. Mersham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Mersham
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, 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.
Community buildings like Church of St John the Baptist are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Mersham Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When to call us in Mersham
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
