Fire rated sealant in Lodge Lees
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are old fire sealant that has split or come away and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
Work in a small place like Lodge Lees is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

When to call us in Lodge Lees
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Letting a property close to Shepherds Well station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Lodge Lees
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. Lodge Lees has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary Magdalene are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Lodge Lees needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Common questions in Lodge Lees
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shepherds Well station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Lodge Lees?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
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 will plan the work to suit.
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, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
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.
How we quote for fire rated sealant

The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
