Signs you need fire rated sealant in Broad Green
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Community buildings like Church of St Saviour are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
FAQs for Broad Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near West Croydon station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Broad Green?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Can I do 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 have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.

Fire rated sealant around Broad Green
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Broad Green. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Broad Green is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Managing a site like Elmwood Infant School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
