Questions from Barnehurst
Do you work for landlords with property near Barnehurst station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Barnehurst?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
About our fire rated sealant in Barnehurst
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. Common call-outs are for old fire sealant that has split or come away and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on door frames, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Barnehurst can’t close.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Workplaces and buildings in Barnehurst

If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Paulinus, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Barnehurst station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Barnehurst
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. 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.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Barnehurst?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
As a London address, Barnehurst can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What product goes in the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
