About our fire rated sealant in Teynham Street
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. If you’re dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and open gaps behind door architraves, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Teynham Street, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.

What else we do in Teynham Street
Workplaces and buildings in Teynham Street
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Teynham Street, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Teynham Street: your questions answered
I let a flat near Teynham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Teynham Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
Do you need fire rated sealant in Teynham Street?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For landlords with property near Teynham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Teynham Street, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins to keep disruption down.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
