Fire-rated sealant in Temple Ewell, Kent
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Temple Ewell. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion

What we’re called out for in Temple Ewell
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
If you look after a building such as Temple Ewell Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What to look for in a quote

- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- When the joint can take water or movement
Fire rated sealant in Temple Ewell
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you have new service routes left unsealed after building work and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can help.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Temple Ewell, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Temple Ewell and across Kent.

Why it’s worth doing now in Temple Ewell
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Around Temple Ewell, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.
Why book with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Full insurance on every job

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What affects the quote in Temple Ewell
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away.

For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.

Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

Where do you work from?

Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Fire rated sealant in Temple Ewell: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Temple Ewell, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Peter and St Paul are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Kearsney station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
