Do you need fire rated sealant in Pembury?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Look out for any of the following:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open gaps behind door architraves

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.

Fire rated sealant in Pembury: local notes
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Pembury School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as Upper Church of St Peter, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In an older home around Pembury, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Fully insured
