Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Royal Tunbridge Wells
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are new service routes left unsealed after building work and linear gaps at the head of walls.
If you look after a school, care home, pub or office in Royal Tunbridge Wells, the sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and the fire-rated joints around its pipework, all need looking after. Work can be planned around opening hours where needed.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Royal Tunbridge Wells and across Kent.

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. A visit in Royal Tunbridge Wells needs access to the work and a place to park close by. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What else we do in Royal Tunbridge Wells
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
When to call us in Royal Tunbridge Wells
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Barnabas, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
