How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Shoreham, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are open holes round services passing through fire walls and open gaps behind door architraves.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
For landlords and businesses
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.

Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.

Shoreham questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shoreham (Kent) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Shoreham for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Shoreham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
What affects the quote in Shoreham

What fire rated sealant looks like in Shoreham
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Shoreham Village School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the job changes by surface
