Fire rated sealant in Chase Cross
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers. Mastic man, silicone man or sealant specialist, the name varies, but the work in Chase Cross is the same: old material out, joints prepared and the right product used.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, whether that is washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Where a building in Chase Cross needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
FAQs for Chase Cross
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Chase Cross?
Parking in Chase Cross, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Chase Cross?
Yes, Chase Cross is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Fire rated sealant in Chase Cross: local notes
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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.
Chase Cross is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Rented homes near Gidea Park station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Related advice
When to call us in Chase Cross
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For buildings such as St James, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether VAT is included
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
What affects the quote in Chase Cross
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
