Fire rated sealant in Shover's Green
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you’re dealing with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Shover's Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When to call us in Shover's Green
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For buildings such as Shover's Green Baptist Chapel, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Shover's Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Shover's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Stonegate station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shover's Green
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. Around Shover's Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
