How we handle fire rated sealant in Wingham
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We are often asked to deal with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and open holes round services passing through fire walls, on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
Work in a small place like Wingham is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Wingham
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Every job is quoted individually. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we’ll tell you which one you have.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Wingham
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
For landlords with property near Adisham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like St Mary's Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Wingham Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

The process

The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Wingham, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Why it’s worth doing now in Wingham
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wingham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.
