Fire rated sealant around Forest Corner
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Poulner Infant School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

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. Common call-outs are for open holes round services passing through fire walls and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, across pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
For a small place like Forest Corner, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Why it’s worth doing now in Forest Corner
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 Forest Corner, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- 20+ years of sealant experience

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Forest Corner
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Community buildings like St John the Baptist are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Before booking anyone
- How long to leave it before use
- What preparation is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Forest Corner: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Forest Corner?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Forest Corner?
Yes, Forest Corner is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
