Fire rated sealant in Furzedown
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Typical jobs include ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, across flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. For a building in Furzedown, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Furzedown

What we’re called out for in Furzedown
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Managing a site like Graveney School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- The length of the guarantee
- What insurance they hold
- Is VAT in the price?

Common questions in Furzedown
Do you cover Furzedown for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Furzedown is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Furzedown?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Furzedown?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Why it’s worth doing now in Furzedown
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Why book with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Fire rated sealant around Furzedown
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Tooting station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like St Paul's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
Need a quote? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details. We’ll explain what we’d do and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. In Furzedown, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
