How we handle fire rated sealant in Clay Hill
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Common call-outs are for gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. In Clay Hill, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Clay Hill questions
I let a flat near Gordon Hill station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Clay Hill?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Do you work in Clay Hill?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Clay Hill?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Clay Hill?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Managing a site like St John's CofE Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Fire rated sealant in Clay Hill: local notes
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
