How we handle fire rated sealant in Kevington
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Typical jobs include cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and open holes round services passing through fire walls, on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. In Kevington, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Landlord and commercial work in Kevington
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that doesn’t depend on other work. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

How we quote for fire rated sealant

- Mould in or behind the old joints

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Kevington
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Kevington?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near St Mary Cray station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Kevington?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

Common problems we fix in Kevington
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 after spotting one of these:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Community buildings like Unity Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Kevington
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
Letting a property close to St Mary Cray station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Kevington is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
