- New service routes left unsealed after building work
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. 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.
- 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
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
About our fire rated sealant in Copse Hill
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are open gaps behind door architraves and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Where a building in Copse Hill needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Copse Hill and everywhere else we cover.

What we are called out for in Copse Hill
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The most common problems we see are:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Copse Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Copse Hill: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Copse Hill?
Parking in Copse Hill, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Copse Hill?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Which products 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.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Workplaces and buildings in Copse Hill
Copse Hill has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as Hollymount School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Christ Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
