Fire rated sealant in Balham, done properly
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. For a building in Balham, we agree timings and access before anything starts, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Balham and everywhere else we cover.

FAQs for Balham
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Balham?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Balham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Commercial buildings in Balham
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Balham is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as Ravenstone Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Why act early in Balham
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Balham, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Balham, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Balham
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
