Fire Rated Sealant in Pembles Cross
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Pembles Cross. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Fire rated sealant in Pembles Cross, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you are dealing with linear gaps at the head of walls and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Pembles Cross is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Pembles Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Workplaces and buildings in Pembles Cross
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St James are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Lenham station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Pembles Cross
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Pembles Cross, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
