Fire-rated sealant in Stocks Green, Kent
We cover Stocks Green for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Stocks Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Stocks Green
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We’re often asked to deal with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and open gaps behind door architraves, across flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
In a village or hamlet like Stocks Green, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What else we do in Stocks Green
What we’re called out for in Stocks Green
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you let a flat or house near Hildenborough station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Stocks Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins.
Fire rated sealant around Stocks Green
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St John, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like Hildenborough Church of England Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
