What happens on the day
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. In Malden Rushett, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Other services in Malden Rushett
Do you need fire rated sealant in Malden Rushett?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Malden Rushett is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How much experience the applicator has
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
FAQs for Malden Rushett
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chessington South station?

Can parking be tricky for a visit in Malden Rushett?
Parking in Malden Rushett, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves; we install to those details and record what we did.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Commercial buildings in Malden Rushett
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
For landlords with property near Chessington South station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chessington Community College, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Why act early in Malden Rushett
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Malden Rushett, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
