How we handle fire rated sealant in Addington
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. Typical jobs include joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and holes left by a change of layout, across flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in Addington, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a job in Addington, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- 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.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work

Workplaces and buildings in Addington
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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.
Letting a property close to West Wickham station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.

Do you work in Addington?

Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Addington?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
Addington is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is
- Whether you can choose the colour
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
