What fire rated sealant looks like in Crayford
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details. Crayford has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For buildings such as Church of St Paulinus, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Crayford station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What else we do in Crayford
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a smaller place like Crayford, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Crayford and across Kent. Several sites can be quoted together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Crayford?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Holes left by a change of layout
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wentworth Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long the guarantee is
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
Why act early in Crayford
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Around Crayford, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Is Crayford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can you give us a record of the work?
