Fire rated sealant in Coombe, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; 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. We work on service penetrations, door frames and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. In Coombe, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes 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 Coombe. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Fire rated sealant around Coombe
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
For buildings such as Christ Church New Malden, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Coombe is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a building such as Coombe Hill Junior School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

FAQs for Coombe
Do you work for landlords with property near Norbiton station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Coombe?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
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.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. 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. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
