How we handle fire rated sealant in Keeper's Corner
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. Common call-outs are for door frames with gaps between frame and wall and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, across pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Keeper's Corner, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Keeper's Corner
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: 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.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Keeper's Corner, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal

Related advice
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Keeper's Corner
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Managing a site like Copthorne CofE Junior School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the colour is chosen
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Keeper's Corner: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Gatwick Airport station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Keeper's Corner for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Keeper's Corner is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Fire rated sealant around Keeper's Corner
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Gatwick Airport station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
