Fire rated sealant in Blackfen
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. In Blackfen, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Blackfen and everywhere else we cover.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Blackfen
Do you work for landlords with property near Falconwood station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Blackfen in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Blackfen is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Why act early in Blackfen
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, 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 by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Blackfen, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry

- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Commercial buildings in Blackfen
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
For landlords with property near Falconwood station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like Church of the Good Shepherd are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a London area like Blackfen, 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.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
