Fire rated sealant in Tonge Corner
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for old fire sealant that has split or come away and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames.
For a small place like Tonge Corner, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. Somewhere as small as Tonge Corner, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Tonge Corner
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
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.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Tonge Corner
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Tonge Corner, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lansdowne Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Church of St Giles, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Letting a property close to Teynham station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tonge Corner
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a small place like Tonge Corner, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
