A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. Common call-outs are for open gaps behind door architraves and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, across flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
For a small place like Rodmersham, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Rodmersham and across Kent.

Commercial buildings in Rodmersham
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Rodmersham, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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.
Letting a property close to Sittingbourne station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Rodmersham School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
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 that we can handle for you.
Rodmersham questions
Do you cover smaller places like Rodmersham?
Yes, Rodmersham is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Sittingbourne station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
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.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rodmersham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Rodmersham, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
