About our fire rated sealant in Benhilton
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Common call-outs are for fire stopping disturbed by later work and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, across flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. In Benhilton, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a London area like Benhilton, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access

Fire rated sealant in Benhilton: local notes
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like All Saints Benhilton CofE Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Saints Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Can I do it myself?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
