Why act early in Lee Gate
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like Lee Gate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews

About our fire rated sealant in Lee Gate
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and service penetrations, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps around fire door frames and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
Somewhere as small as Lee Gate, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Workplaces and buildings in Lee Gate
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Old Church of St John the Baptist, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Lee Common Church of England School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Common problems we fix in Lee Gate
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Letting a property close to Wendover station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Lee Gate: your questions answered
Will you come out to Lee Gate?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Wendover station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Lee Gate, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Related advice
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
