Fire rated sealant in Old Romney
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged fire sealant left by other trades and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
Somewhere as small as Old Romney, 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 Old Romney
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Advice
Commercial buildings in Old Romney
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Clement, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Managing a site like The Marsh Academy? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Why act early in Old Romney
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In a small place like Old Romney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
