How we handle fire rated sealant in North Street
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about fire stopping disturbed by later work and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
Somewhere as small as North Street, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in North Street
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sheldwich Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What the cure time is
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they’re fully insured

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in North Street
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Fire rated sealant around North 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 buildings such as Church of St James, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to Faversham station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How the job changes by surface
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, and we’ll tell you.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
