When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs

Fire rated sealant in Kingston Vale
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Common call-outs are for open joints along the top of partitions and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, across linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. In Kingston Vale, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a job in Kingston Vale, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Kingston Vale
I let a flat near Raynes Park station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Kingston Vale?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Kingston Vale?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.

Why act early in Kingston Vale
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Kingston Vale, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
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.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
