Fire-rated sealant in Worth, Kent
Our applicators work in Worth on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
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.
Fire rated sealant in Worth, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you’re dealing with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can help, on service penetrations, door frames and linear gaps alike.
Somewhere as small as Worth, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Worth, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Worth. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Managing a site like Worth Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Sandwich station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
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.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
