Fire-rated sealant in Brasted Chart, Greater London
Fire-stopping gaps in Brasted Chart need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Fire rated sealant in Brasted Chart
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We are often asked to deal with linear gaps at the head of walls and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, across flats & HMOs, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Where a building in Brasted Chart needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why act early in Brasted Chart
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that doesn’t depend on other 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 Brasted Chart, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Is parking a problem for a job in Brasted Chart?
Parking in Brasted Chart, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you cover Brasted Chart?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Brasted Chart.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
