Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Anerley
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We’re often asked to deal with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. For managing agents and building owners in Anerley, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Anerley. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Anerley
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Anerley
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Paul's, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as James Dixon Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Common problems we fix in Anerley
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
As a London address, Anerley can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What else we do in Anerley
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
