Landlord and commercial work in Queen Street
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Queen Street
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. Common call-outs are for seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps left after a refit or conversion, across door frames, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
Somewhere as small as Queen Street, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Queen Street
Do you work for landlords with property near Paddock Wood station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Queen Street?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Queen Street is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Queen Street?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
If you let a flat or house near Paddock Wood station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long to leave it before use
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
