Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Woodchurch
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Woodchurch. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you’re dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and holes left by a change of layout, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Woodchurch, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Woodchurch and across Kent.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Woodchurch needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Around Woodchurch, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
Workplaces and buildings in Woodchurch
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Woodchurch Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

When to call us in Woodchurch
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
