Your questions about fire rated sealant in Chessington
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chessington North station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Chessington?
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 I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Chessington?

Do you cover Chessington?
Yes. We work in Chessington and the rest of Greater London. To book, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Fire rated sealant in Chessington, done properly
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are old fire sealant that has split or come away and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. For a building in Chessington, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Chessington and across Greater London.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In Chessington, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
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.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
When to call us in Chessington
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Chessington is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Chessington
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Letting a property close to Chessington North station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chessington
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.
