Fire rated sealant in Nonington
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you have joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and open gaps behind door architraves, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Nonington, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Nonington
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
- How easy the joints are to reach
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Workplaces and buildings in Nonington
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, 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.
Rented homes near Aylesham station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Nonington Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Surface by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
FAQs for Nonington
Do you cover smaller places like Nonington?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aylesham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take 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.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
