How we handle fire rated sealant in Abinger Common
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Abinger Common, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs

Commercial buildings in Abinger Common
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Belmont Prep School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St James, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Letting a property close to Gomshall station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Abinger Common questions
I let a flat near Gomshall station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Abinger Common?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. In a small place like Abinger Common, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Abinger Common, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Surface by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
