Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Norton Ash
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. 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. We’re often asked to deal with open joints along the top of partitions and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Norton Ash, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Norton Ash needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Why act early in Norton Ash
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. In a small place like Norton Ash, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Tidy, careful work
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Workplaces and buildings in Norton Ash
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Norton Ash, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Common problems we fix in Norton Ash
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Managing a site like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
