Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Sepham Heath
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
Somewhere as small as Sepham Heath, 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.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sepham Heath and across Kent.

Workplaces and buildings in Sepham Heath
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as Halstead Community Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Otford Lane Mission Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Sepham Heath is about 3 miles north-west of Sevenoaks, in Kent.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Sepham Heath, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- 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 if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
When to call us in Sepham Heath
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The most common problems we see are:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
If you let a flat or house near Knockholt station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What guarantee comes with the work
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

- Door frames
