Fire rated sealant in Tenterden, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are fire seals that have cracked with movement and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
In a smaller place like Tenterden, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What affects the quote in Tenterden
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Tenterden, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Fire rated sealant in Tenterden: local notes
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Tenterden. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Schools such as Tenterden Infant School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Parish Church of St Mildred are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Tenterden is about 9 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Across the TN30 area, our applicators can take on fire rated sealant. Tenterden is one of 922 places in Kent we cover for fire rated sealant. For nearby work, see our Crawley page.

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware

For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Tenterden and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Questions from Tenterden
Can you do fire rated sealant in Tenterden?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Tenterden is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Tenterden?
Yes. Tenterden is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire 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.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
How it 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. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking around Tenterden is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
