Advice
Fire rated sealant in Langley Vale
We don’t 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. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Langley Vale, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Langley Vale, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Langley Vale
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as St Stephen On The Downs, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as The Vale Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For landlords with property near Tattenham Corner station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

FAQs for Langley Vale
Is Langley Vale within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Tattenham Corner station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we will tell you which one you have.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
