Your questions about fire rated sealant in St Nicholas at Wade
Do you cover smaller places like St Nicholas at Wade?
Yes. St Nicholas at Wade 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.
I let a flat near Birchington-On-Sea station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.

What else we do in St Nicholas at Wade
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Nicholas at Wade
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in St Nicholas at Wade and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Why act early in St Nicholas at Wade
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Older cottages and farmhouses around St Nicholas at Wade can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in St Nicholas at Wade
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Managing a site like St Nicholas At Wade Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- How hidden problems are handled
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
