Seabrook Fire Rated Sealant
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homes and businesses in Seabrook and across Kent. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Linear gaps at the head of walls

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Seabrook
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you have gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can put it right.
For a small place like Seabrook, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Seabrook
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Seabrook, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Folkestone West station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a building such as Seabrook Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Why act early in Seabrook
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Seabrook, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- We are fully insured

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.

Related advice
When to call us in Seabrook
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For buildings such as Seabrook Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
