What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. A visit to New Romney is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in New Romney
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like New Romney have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in New Romney and everywhere else we cover.

Questions from New Romney
Will you come out to New Romney?
Yes, New Romney is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do fire rated sealant in New Romney?
Yes, New Romney is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in New Romney
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Around New Romney, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, 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.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in New Romney
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
Commercial buildings in New Romney
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like New Romney, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as St Nicholas Church of England Primary Academy are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
New Romney is about 8 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. New Romney gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Brighton is on our list too, around 48 miles away.
All of TN28 is covered for fire rated sealant. Fire rated sealant is available to properties on High Street, Church Road and Station Road.

What we are called out for in New Romney
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Community buildings like Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
