About our fire rated sealant in Bickley
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across Bickley. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We are often asked to deal with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, across door frames, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry.
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. Where a building in Bickley needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Bickley questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Bickley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Bickley?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Do you cover Bickley?
Yes. We work in Bickley and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Bickley
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Bickley. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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.
As a London address, Bickley can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Community buildings like Church of St George are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Need a quote? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the job. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
Common problems we fix in Bickley
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Rented homes near Bickley station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Other services in Bickley
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a job in Bickley, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
