What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. Around Rushenden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Advice
Fire rated sealant in Rushenden: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Rushenden, 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Queenborough School and Nursery, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Queenborough station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Questions from Rushenden

Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
