Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Older cottages and farmhouses around Yopps Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Fire rated sealant in Yopps Green
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you are dealing with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Yopps Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Yopps Green?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Plaxtol Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Fire rated sealant around Yopps Green
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Borough Green & Wrotham station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Plaxtol Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Door frames

What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Yopps Green questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Yopps Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Yopps Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
What sealant do you use?
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.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job.
