About our fire rated sealant in Kennington
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’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. We work on door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Kennington generally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
When it is not the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
When to call us in Kennington
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Rented homes near Ashford International station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Before you book anyone
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long to leave it before use
