Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
About our fire rated sealant in Tonge
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on service penetrations, door frames and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about gaps left after a refit or conversion and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Tonge, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What affects the quote in Tonge
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.

- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tonge can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we’ll tell you.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Tonge needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Fire rated sealant in Tonge: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Tonge, 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Teynham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Giles, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Sittingbourne Community College are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Common questions in Tonge
Is Tonge in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Tonge is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Tonge within the area you cover?
Yes. Tonge is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
