Fire rated sealant in Newenden
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have door frames with gaps between frame and wall and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Newenden is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Workplaces and buildings in Newenden

Common questions in Newenden
Is Newenden in your area for fire rated sealant?

Is Newenden within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
When to call us in Newenden
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Community buildings like Parish Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the cure time is
- How hidden problems are handled
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
Why act early in Newenden
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around Newenden can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Newenden, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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 gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
