Fire rated sealant in Newtown, done properly
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Newtown normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Newtown and everywhere else we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Newtown
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Homes in smaller places like Newtown can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. A visit to Newtown is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in

FAQs for Newtown
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Newtown?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is Newtown within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
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. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Newtown and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
When to call us in Newtown
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Managing a site like East Stour Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Newtown
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
