Your questions about fire rated sealant in Sheldwich
I let a flat near Selling station. Can you help?

How we handle fire rated sealant in Sheldwich
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on, gap by gap. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Sheldwich, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Sheldwich
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Rented homes near Selling station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long the guarantee is
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. Somewhere like Sheldwich needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit

Why act early in Sheldwich
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Sheldwich, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Tidy, careful work
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
What fire rated sealant looks like in Sheldwich
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 Sheldwich Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as Church of St James, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
