Questions from Twitham
Do you cover Twitham for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Twitham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Twitham?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
About our fire rated sealant in Twitham
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are fire stopping disturbed by later work and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Twitham, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.

Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Twitham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Full insurance on every job
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
What fire rated sealant looks like in Twitham
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St James, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Twitham
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
If you let a flat or house near Adisham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
