Temple Hill questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dartford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Temple Hill 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.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Fire rated sealant in Temple Hill
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you’re dealing with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can put it right.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Temple Hill usually means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Temple Hill?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
If you look after a building such as Temple Hill Primary Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a smaller place like Temple Hill, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Workplaces and buildings in Temple Hill
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.
For landlords with property near Dartford station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as St Edmunds Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
