Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in New Street
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and people most often call us about gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
Work in a small place like New Street is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in New Street and across Kent.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in New Street
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in New Street
Do you cover New Street for fire rated sealant?
Yes, New Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like New Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in New Street
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Saint Peter, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as New Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Commercial buildings in New Street
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Culverstone Green Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to Meopham station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
