Fire rated sealant in Ringwould, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. Typical jobs include cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Ringwould, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Ringwould questions
Will you come out to Ringwould?
Yes, Ringwould is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Ringwould?
Yes, Ringwould is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.

Workplaces and buildings in Ringwould
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Ringwould, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Walmer station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kingsdown and Ringwould CofE Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal

Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Around Ringwould, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.

For anyone letting property in or around Ringwould, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Ringwould needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
