Fire rated sealant in Lions Green
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not 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. We work on door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
For a small place like Lions Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Lions Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Other services in Lions Green
Commercial buildings in Lions Green
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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 The Parish Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lions Green
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a small place like Lions Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before

When to call us in Lions Green
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
In and around Lions Green, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Lions Green
Can you do fire rated sealant in Lions Green?
Yes, Lions Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Lions Green?
Yes. Lions Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
