Shatterling questions
Do you cover Shatterling for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shatterling is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Shatterling?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Fire rated sealant in Shatterling, done properly
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you are dealing with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can put it right.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Shatterling, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Fire rated sealant around Shatterling
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.
Managing a site like Wingham Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Adisham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like St Mary's Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What else we do in Shatterling
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Around Shatterling, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Shatterling, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
