Fire Rated Sealant in Pollhill
Our applicators work in Pollhill on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.

What we’re called out for in Pollhill
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For landlords with property near Harrietsham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

About our fire rated sealant in Pollhill
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can help, on door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Pollhill, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Pollhill
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Harrietsham Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

The process

Somewhere like Pollhill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit

Common questions in Pollhill
Is Pollhill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Harrietsham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
