How we handle fire rated sealant in Bromley
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. If you have joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. For managing agents and building owners in Bromley, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Bromley: local notes
Bromley has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Rented homes near West Ham station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Bow Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as St Agnes RC Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Bromley
I let a flat near West Ham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Bromley?
Parking in Bromley, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In a flat in Bromley, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
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’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Tidy, careful work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In Bromley, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- 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.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
