Fire rated sealant in Rochester Riverside
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Rochester Riverside. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you are dealing with gaps left after a refit or conversion and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right, on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs alike.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Rochester Riverside, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Medway.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In a smaller place like Rochester Riverside, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Fire rated sealant around Rochester Riverside
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Rochester Riverside, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Rochester Riverside Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Rochester station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rochester Riverside
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

How the visit works

- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Common questions in Rochester Riverside
Will you come out to Rochester Riverside?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Rochester station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?

Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
