Fire rated sealant in Petteridge
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
Somewhere as small as Petteridge, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations

Workplaces and buildings in Petteridge
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.
If you look after a building such as Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Ebenezer Church (Matfield) are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Why it’s worth doing now in Petteridge
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Around Petteridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
