Workplaces and buildings in Nackington
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Fire rated sealant in Nackington, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on door frames, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
Work in a small place like Nackington is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
When to call us in Nackington
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For landlords with property near Canterbury East station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that is easy

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Nackington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What happens if it’s left?
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 Nackington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why Nackington clients choose us
- Full insurance on every job
