Fire rated sealant in Bopeep
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. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about open gaps behind door architraves and linear gaps at the head of walls.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, whether that is washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Bopeep can’t close.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Bopeep and across Greater London.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Fire rated sealant around Bopeep
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
If you let a flat or house near Knockholt station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Chelsfield Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Mission Chapel, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. For a job in Bopeep, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- 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.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bopeep
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
