Fire rated sealant in Brewer Street
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and holes left by a change of layout.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Brewer Street, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Brewer Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

FAQs for Brewer Street
Do you cover smaller places like Brewer Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.

Workplaces and buildings in Brewer Street
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Merstham station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Bletchingley Village Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What else we do in Brewer Street
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why it’s worth doing now in Brewer Street
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In a small place like Brewer Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
