Why it’s worth doing now in Coombe
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a flat in Coombe, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- We’re fully insured
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Fire rated sealant in Coombe, done properly
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We’re often asked to deal with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Coombe can’t close.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Coombe as everywhere else we work.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Coombe
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near South Croydon station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. As a London address, Coombe can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. 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.
- 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
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Coombe
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For buildings such as Church Hall United Reformed Church Of St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What else we do in Coombe
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
When it is not the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Is parking a problem for a job 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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
