Fire rated sealant in Brooks Green, done properly
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Brooks Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Brooks Green and everywhere else we cover.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Brooks Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Brooks Green questions
Do you cover Brooks Green for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Brooks Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Brooks Green?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used for your files.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Fire rated sealant around Brooks Green
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Billingshurst station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around Brooks Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Common problems we fix in Brooks Green
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Barns Green Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
