West Yoke Fire Rated Sealant
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for householders, landlords and businesses in West Yoke. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like West Yoke, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
Why book with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Over 20 years’ experience
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
About our fire rated sealant in West Yoke
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints along the top of partitions and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
In a village or hamlet like West Yoke, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What fire rated sealant looks like in West Yoke
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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.
Letting a property close to Longfield station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as New Ash Green Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

West Yoke: your questions answered
Is West Yoke in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and West Yoke is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Longfield station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in West Yoke?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in West Yoke
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Community buildings like Parish Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the colour is chosen
- What product goes in the joint
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we’ll tell you.
