Fire rated sealant in Kidbrooke
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. If you’re dealing with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can help, whatever the surface.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, whether that’s washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Where a building in Kidbrooke needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Places near Kidbrooke
What else we do in Kidbrooke
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
What we’re called out for in Kidbrooke

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames

Kidbrooke: your questions answered
I let a flat near Kidbrooke station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Kidbrooke?
Parking in Kidbrooke, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Kidbrooke
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Kidbrooke. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Community buildings like St Barnabas are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Henwick Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
