How we handle fire rated sealant in Kingston
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; 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. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps around fire door frames and old fire sealant that has split or come away, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Kingston, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kingston as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
What we are called out for in Kingston
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
For landlords with property near Woburn Sands station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

- What the cure time is
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Kingston
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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as Monkston Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Kingston: your questions answered
Is Kingston in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Kingston is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Kingston?
Yes, Kingston is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a job in Kingston, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
