Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Ryarsh
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Typical jobs include open holes round services passing through fire walls and holes left by a change of layout, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
For a small place like Ryarsh, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Ryarsh and everywhere else we cover.

Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a small place like Ryarsh, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
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.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Ryarsh
I let a flat near West Malling station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Ryarsh?
Yes, Ryarsh is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Commercial buildings in Ryarsh
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Ryarsh has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Letting a property close to West Malling station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ryarsh Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Ryarsh?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Community buildings like Church of St Martin are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Ryarsh, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
