Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hilden Park
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 plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are fire stopping disturbed by later work and linear gaps at the head of walls.
Somewhere as small as Hilden Park, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Hilden Park
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 church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St John, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to Hildenborough station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Hilden Park, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.

Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. In a small place like Hilden Park, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hilden Park
Will you come out to Hilden Park?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Hilden Park in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Hilden Park is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
What we’re called out for in Hilden Park
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Managing a site like Stocks Green Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
