Fire rated sealant in Wichling
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you are dealing with holes left by a change of layout and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs alike.
Work in a small place like Wichling is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Commercial buildings in Wichling
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Lenham station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as Church of St Margaret, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Wichling, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What happens if it’s left?
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. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wichling can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
