Fire rated sealant in Charlton, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. If you have open joints along the top of partitions and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry alike.
For a small place like Charlton, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Charlton
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Rented homes near Upper Halliford station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

The process

- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Charlton

What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Around Charlton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
