If you have fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Uplees, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
What we’re called out for in Uplees
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Uplees questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Faversham station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Uplees within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves; we install to those details and record what we did.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Uplees, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints

For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Uplees, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Managing a site like Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Faversham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Uplees, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
