About our fire rated sealant in Furze Platt
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on service penetrations, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and holes left by a change of layout.
In a smaller place like Furze Platt, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Common problems we fix in Furze Platt
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For buildings such as Church of St Peter, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a job in Furze Platt, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Furze Platt
Do you cover smaller places like Furze Platt?
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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Furze Platt station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Homes in smaller places like Furze Platt can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
