Fire rated sealant in Battersea
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are fire stopping disturbed by later work and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, whether that’s washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Where a building in Battersea needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Battersea
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. 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.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- We’re fully insured

Questions from Battersea
Is parking a problem for a job in Battersea?
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 take on hotel work around Battersea?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Fire rated sealant in Battersea: local notes
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Battersea. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For buildings such as Clapham Welsh Presbyterian Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Battersea is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What we’re called out for in Battersea
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Schools such as Christ Church CofE Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job.

- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.

- We hand over a list of locations and products.
