Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Bulls Cross
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Bulls Cross, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

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.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Bulls Cross needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:

- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system

Do you cover Bulls Cross for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bulls Cross is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Bulls Cross?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Commercial buildings in Bulls Cross
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Turkey Street 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 Jesus Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as Capel Manor Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
