What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Commercial buildings in West Cliffe
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around West Cliffe, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. West Cliffe has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
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. Letting a property close to Martin Mill station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a building such as St Margaret's-at-Cliffe Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.

Advice
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. Around West Cliffe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
