- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
How we handle fire rated sealant in East Wickham
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, whether that’s washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in East Wickham can’t close.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Fire rated sealant around East Wickham
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 work to the specification you are 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.
East Wickham is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Letting a property close to Welling station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a London area like East Wickham, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in East Wickham, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in East Wickham
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Schools such as East Wickham Primary Academy are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.

Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
