About our fire rated sealant in Selling
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you are dealing with open holes round services passing through fire walls and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can help, on door frames, flats & HMOs and linear gaps alike.
Somewhere as small as Selling, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Selling
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Selling
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Selling
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Selling, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Why act early in Selling
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. In a small place like Selling, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Selling questions
Is Selling in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Selling is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Selling?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine. Out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Fire rated sealant around Selling
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Selling station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Selling Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
