How we handle fire rated sealant in Snodland
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Snodland, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Snodland is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
How to get a quote

Advice
Snodland: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Snodland station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Snodland within the area you cover?
Yes. Snodland is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Workplaces and buildings in Snodland
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like Snodland CofE Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Church of the New Jerusalem are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Why act early in Snodland
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Homes in smaller places like Snodland can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system

What we are called out for in Snodland
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Letting a property close to Snodland station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
