Fire rated sealant in Vigo Village
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, door frames and service penetrations alike.
Somewhere as small as Vigo Village, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Vigo Village, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Fire rated sealant around Vigo Village
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, 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.
For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Vigo Village School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
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.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Around Vigo Village, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Vigo Village
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
