Fire rated sealant in Parkgate
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We are often asked to deal with new service routes left unsealed after building work and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across door frames, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Parkgate, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Parkgate, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Common problems we fix in Parkgate
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Around Parkgate, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When it is not the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
