About our fire rated sealant in Broom Hill
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, whether that is washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Where a building in Broom Hill needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Fire rated sealant in Broom Hill: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Broom Hill. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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.
Letting a property close to Orpington station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Broom Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. For a job in Broom Hill, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- 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 and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Broom Hill questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Orpington station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is parking a problem for a job in Broom Hill?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Broom Hill?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Schools such as Perry Hall Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What the cure time is
- How the colour is chosen
Why act early in Broom Hill
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
