How we handle fire rated sealant in Springhead
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 work to the manufacturer’s details. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Springhead, 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.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In a smaller place like Springhead, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Questions from Springhead
Is Springhead within the area you cover?
Yes, Springhead is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Springhead
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Painters Ash Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Springhead
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Springhead, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
For buildings such as Parish Church of St Botolph, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Letting a property close to Ebbsfleet International station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
