Walmer Fire Rated Sealant
We cover Walmer for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
How we handle fire rated sealant in Walmer
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Common call-outs are for fire stopping disturbed by later work and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, on door frames, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Walmer, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. A visit to Walmer is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
Fire rated sealant around Walmer
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Walmer, 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. Walmer has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Downs Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Walmer: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Walmer?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Walmer station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Walmer?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Why act early in Walmer
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Homes in smaller places like Walmer can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We are fully insured

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Walmer
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
If you let a flat or house near Walmer station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
