Rusthall Fire Rated Sealant
Our applicators work in Rusthall on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
How we handle fire rated sealant in Rusthall
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. 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. If you’re dealing with new service routes left unsealed after building work and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Rusthall, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Common questions in Rusthall
Will you come out to Rusthall?
Yes, Rusthall is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work in hotels near Rusthall?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Rusthall?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry

- Linear gaps
Fire rated sealant around Rusthall
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Rusthall. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Paul's Church Centre, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Rusthall St Paul's CofE VA Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Rusthall and across Kent. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
Common problems we fix in Rusthall
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For landlords with property near Tunbridge Wells station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. In a smaller place like Rusthall, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Ask for a quote

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Leave it or put it right?
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. Homes in smaller places like Rusthall can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
