Fire rated sealant in Patrixbourne, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We are often asked to deal with open holes round services passing through fire walls and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, across pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Patrixbourne, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Patrixbourne and across Kent.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Patrixbourne, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Patrixbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Commercial buildings in Patrixbourne
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Bekesbourne station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bridge and Patrixbourne Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Patrixbourne
Is Patrixbourne in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Patrixbourne is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bekesbourne station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
What affects the quote in Patrixbourne
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How much there is to do
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If someone has resealed it before
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
