Landlord and commercial work in St Peter's
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How we handle fire rated sealant in St Peter's
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are damaged fire sealant left by other trades and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
In a smaller place like St Peter's, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking around St Peter's is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- 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
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What affects the quote in St Peter's
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Why act early in St Peter's
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Around St Peter's, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in St Peter's
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For landlords with property near Broadstairs station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
