Fire rated sealant in Gipsy Hill
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are fire stopping disturbed by later work and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Where a building in Gipsy Hill needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When to call us in Gipsy Hill
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Schools such as Paxton Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Gipsy Hill.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Workplaces and buildings in Gipsy Hill
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. 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.
Rented homes near Gipsy Hill station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Christ Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
