Fire rated sealant for Milton-next-Gravesend homes and businesses
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Milton-next-Gravesend
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. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you are dealing with holes left by a change of layout and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can help, whatever the surface.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Milton-next-Gravesend normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a smaller place like Milton-next-Gravesend, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Leave it or put it right?
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 that doesn’t depend on other work. Around Milton-next-Gravesend, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Fire rated sealant in Milton-next-Gravesend: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Milton-next-Gravesend, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Milton-next-Gravesend?

A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
