Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Trottiscliffe
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you’re dealing with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps alike.
Work in a small place like Trottiscliffe is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Workplaces and buildings in Trottiscliffe
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Trottiscliffe Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What else we do in Trottiscliffe
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
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.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- The type of property
Want a quote for fire rated sealant? Please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the job. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Trottiscliffe, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Do you need fire rated sealant in Trottiscliffe?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you let a flat or house near Borough Green & Wrotham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Questions from Trottiscliffe
Can you do fire rated sealant in Trottiscliffe?
Yes, Trottiscliffe is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
