What affects the quote in South Street
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- Any mould that needs treating
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that doesn’t depend on other work. Around South Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What fire rated sealant looks like in South Street
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.
Letting a property close to Meopham station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like South Street needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
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.

South Street: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Meopham station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover South Street for fire rated sealant?
Yes, South Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
Signs you need fire rated sealant in South Street
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Managing a site like Culverstone Green Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
