Fire-rated sealant in Wouldham, Medway

How we handle fire rated sealant in Wouldham
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Wouldham, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Wouldham, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wouldham
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wouldham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Fire rated sealant in Wouldham: local notes
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Halling station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Halling Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start so residents know what to expect.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
