About our fire rated sealant in Stubb's Cross
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on door frames, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged fire sealant left by other trades and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Stubb's Cross, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What affects the quote in Stubb's Cross
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If someone has resealed it before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Stubb's Cross, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

- 20+ years of sealant experience

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
Commercial buildings in Stubb's Cross
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.
Managing a site like Kingsnorth Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like St Francis are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
