About our fire rated sealant in Wainscott
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and people most often call us about gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Wainscott have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was 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.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking around Wainscott is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
For fire rated sealant in Wainscott, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
When to call us in Wainscott
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For landlords with property near Strood station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the cure time is
- What preparation is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
