Fire rated sealant in Bromley Green: local notes
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as John Wallis Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Bromley Green
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. Typical jobs include ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Bromley Green, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bromley Green as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Bromley Green
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Look out for any of the following:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Rented homes near Ham Street station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. In a small place like Bromley Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bromley Green
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.

FAQs for Bromley Green
Do you work for landlords with property near Ham Street station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Bromley Green?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
