Fire rated sealant in Tyler Hill: local notes
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 building such as Blean Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Cosmus and St Damian, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Canterbury West station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Tyler Hill is about 2 miles north of Canterbury, in Kent. Jobs in Tyler Hill get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Tyler Hill is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we work. For nearby work, see our Chelmsford page.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Tyler Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tyler Hill
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tyler Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
