About our fire rated sealant in Three Chimneys
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. We are often asked to deal with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Three Chimneys, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Three Chimneys
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In a small place like Three Chimneys, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that is easy

Questions from Three Chimneys
I let a flat near Headcorn station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Three Chimneys?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
