How we handle fire rated sealant in Grange Mills
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. For managing agents and building owners in Grange Mills, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
Do you need fire rated sealant in Grange Mills?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Schools such as Henry Cavendish Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Why act early in Grange Mills
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Grange Mills, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Commercial buildings in Grange Mills

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.
