Fire rated sealant in West Hythe

Work in a small place like West Hythe is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in West Hythe and across Kent.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like West Hythe, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Why it’s worth doing now in West Hythe
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Hythe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in West Hythe
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Managing a site like Lympne Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Will you leave a mess?

Will there be a smell?

Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.

Commercial buildings in West Hythe
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around West Hythe, 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. 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 Stephen, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Westenhanger station?
