About our fire rated sealant in Northfleet
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have gaps left after a refit or conversion and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can help, whatever the surface.
Commercial jobs in a town like Northfleet range from shops and offices to schools and small business units. Each has washrooms, kitchens and service openings through walls that need the right sealant.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Northfleet
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Northfleet, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Rented homes near Gravesend station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Northfleet Technology College are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. A visit in Northfleet needs access to the work and a place to park close by. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What else we do in Northfleet
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Northfleet?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Look out for these signs:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
Landlord and commercial work in Northfleet
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
