The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and the area is left clean. For a job in Mugswell, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in

About our fire rated sealant in Mugswell
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. Typical jobs include new service routes left unsealed after building work and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in Mugswell, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Mugswell?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you look after a building such as Kingswood Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal

- Pipe & cable gaps

Fire rated sealant in Mugswell: local notes
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. 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.
Rented homes near Kingswood station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as Church of Jesus Christ and the Wisdom of God, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Mugswell
Is parking a problem for a job in Mugswell?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Do you cover Mugswell for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Mugswell is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. 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.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Mugswell.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
