Fire rated sealant in Shipbourne
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. If you have gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Shipbourne is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Shipbourne
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shipbourne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, 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.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Shipbourne
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Giles, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shipbourne School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
