Do you need fire rated sealant in Tunbridge Hill?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
If you let a flat or house near Gillingham (Kent) station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What guarantee comes with the work

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Tunbridge Hill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Commercial buildings in Tunbridge Hill
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Tunbridge Hill, 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, 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 The Hundred of Hoo Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Tunbridge Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Tunbridge Hill questions
Is Tunbridge Hill in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Tunbridge Hill is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gillingham (Kent) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
