About our fire rated sealant in Wallend
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged fire sealant left by other trades and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
Somewhere as small as Wallend, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Wallend, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Fire rated sealant in Wallend: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Wallend, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St James, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Sheerness-On-Sea station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Wallend
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
Managing a site like St James Church of England Primary Academy? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Common questions in Wallend
I let a flat near Sheerness-On-Sea station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Wallend?
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.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Wallend?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wallend
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wallend
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wallend, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
