Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Oare
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We’re often asked to deal with old fire sealant that has split or come away and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, across service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
In a village or hamlet like Oare, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in Oare
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Rented homes near Faversham station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Questions from Oare
I let a flat near Faversham station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Oare?
Yes, Oare is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Commercial buildings in Oare
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Oare, 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. Oare has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Davington Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
