About our fire rated sealant in Sevenscore
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you’re dealing with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can help, on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and door frames alike.
In a village or hamlet like Sevenscore, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Workplaces and buildings in Sevenscore
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Sevenscore, 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sevenscore
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sevenscore can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Take a look at how sealant jobs are priced and our reviews.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Sevenscore
Is Sevenscore within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Thanet Parkway station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
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.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Landlord and commercial work in Sevenscore
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Sevenscore, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Advice
What affects the quote in Sevenscore
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
If you are in Sevenscore and need fire rated sealant, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
