Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Kenley?

What do you need from me for a quote?

Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Kenley
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Common call-outs are for holes left by a change of layout and open holes round services passing through fire walls, across service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
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 Kenley, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
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.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Kenley?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
The most common problems we see are:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they’re fully insured
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
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.

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Fire rated sealant around Kenley
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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.
