About our fire rated sealant in Statenborough
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have damaged fire sealant left by other trades and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Statenborough, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Questions from Statenborough
I let a flat near Sandwich station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Statenborough within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Statenborough needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
Getting a quote
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.

When to call us in Statenborough
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For buildings such as Church of St George, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Fire rated sealant in Statenborough: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Sandwich Technology School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Sandwich station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
