Fire rated sealant in Styants Bottom, done properly
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you’re dealing with fire stopping disturbed by later work and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Styants Bottom, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Questions from Styants Bottom
Is Styants Bottom in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Styants Bottom is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Kemsing station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What affects the quote in Styants Bottom
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. Somewhere like Styants Bottom needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Around Styants Bottom, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Tidy, careful work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Landlords, agents and businesses in Styants Bottom
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
Common problems we fix in Styants Bottom
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
If you let a flat or house near Kemsing station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Fire rated sealant in Styants Bottom: local notes
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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.
For buildings such as St Lawrence, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Ightham Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
