DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Saltwood
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Saltwood, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

- Any previous sealing or DIY work

Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Saltwood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- Over 20 years’ experience

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs

What else we do in Saltwood
What fire rated sealant looks like in Saltwood
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Saltwood, 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Peter and St Paul are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Saltwood CofE Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Sandling station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
