Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Chislehurst
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. Typical jobs include gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and service penetrations.
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. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Chislehurst can’t close.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
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.
Common questions in Chislehurst
Can you do fire rated sealant in Chislehurst?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Chislehurst is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Chislehurst?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Other services in Chislehurst
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Chislehurst. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Advice
What affects the quote in Chislehurst
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
What we’re called out for in Chislehurst
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
If you look after a building such as Red Hill Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long the guarantee is
- What the cure time is
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Fire rated sealant in Chislehurst: local notes
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
Community buildings like Parish Church The Annunciation Of Blessed Virgin Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Chislehurst is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
