Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Fire rated sealant in Sittingbourne
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are holes left by a change of layout and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
If you look after a school, care home, pub or office in Sittingbourne, the sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and the fire-rated joints around its pipework, all need looking after. Work can be planned around opening hours where needed.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Sittingbourne
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Holy Trinity, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What insurance they hold
- What product goes in the joint
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
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.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
If you are 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.
Questions from Sittingbourne
Can you do fire rated sealant in Sittingbourne?
Yes, Sittingbourne is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Sittingbourne?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Commercial buildings in Sittingbourne
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Sittingbourne, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Borden Grammar School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For landlords with property near Sittingbourne station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a family home in Sittingbourne, a failed seal around a bath or a frame lets water into places you cannot see, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
