Signs you need fire rated sealant in Singlewell or Ifield
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Margaret, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long to leave it before use
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Singlewell or Ifield: your questions answered
I let a flat near Meopham station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Singlewell or Ifield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Singlewell or Ifield, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap 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.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
