About our fire rated sealant in Ulcombe
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
In a village or hamlet like Ulcombe, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
What we’re called out for in Ulcombe
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Saints Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Before you book anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What insurance they hold
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like Ulcombe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why Ulcombe clients choose us
- We are fully insured
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Old sealant always removed completely

Fire rated sealant in Ulcombe: 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Harrietsham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Ulcombe Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Common questions in Ulcombe
Will you come out to Ulcombe?
Yes. Ulcombe is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Harrietsham station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Ulcombe?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
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.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- 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.
