Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Sholden Meadows
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames, and the jobs we see most are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
In a village or hamlet like Sholden Meadows, 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 one-year guarantee comes as standard.

If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How much does fire rated sealant cost in Sholden Meadows?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you come to Sholden Meadows?

Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

What else we do in Sholden Meadows
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Sholden Meadows, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sholden Meadows, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
What we’re called out for in Sholden Meadows
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For landlords with property near Deal station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
