How we quote for fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Tovil
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you are dealing with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help, whatever the surface.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Tovil normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Common questions in Tovil
Do you take on hotel work around Tovil?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Maidstone West station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.

Workplaces and buildings in Tovil
Tovil has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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 St Michael and All Angels Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Archbishop Courtenay Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Maidstone West station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a smaller place like Tovil, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
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’ll go through it with you.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
