New Addington Fire Rated Sealant
We cover New Addington for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.

- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Fire rated sealant in New Addington, done properly
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. In New Addington, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What fire rated sealant looks like in New Addington
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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.
Schools such as Rowdown Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Edward King and Confessor, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in New Addington
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send photos if you have them.
Surface 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.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we’re sealing.
Why it’s worth doing now in New Addington
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year

Landlord and commercial work in New Addington
If you manage several properties in or around New Addington, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Can I do it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

New Addington questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Hayes (Kent) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is parking a problem for a job in New Addington?
Parking in New Addington, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

When to call us in New Addington
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For landlords with property near Hayes (Kent) station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
