Yelsted questions
I let a flat near Rainham (Kent) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Yelsted for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Yelsted is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Yelsted?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Yelsted
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. If you’re dealing with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Yelsted is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Yelsted needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Fire rated sealant in Yelsted: 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Augustine of Canterbury Catholic Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
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 the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
