Payden Street questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lenham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Payden Street in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Payden Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.

What else we do in Payden Street
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Why act early in Payden Street
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 Payden Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why us?
- Tidy, careful work
- Full insurance on every job
- Over 20 years’ experience

Commercial buildings in Payden Street
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Margaret, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like The Lenham School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Payden Street?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Rented homes near Lenham station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access from start to finish. In a small place like Payden Street, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
