How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Newington questions
Will you come out to Newington?
Yes. Newington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Newington station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
What sealant do you use?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.

Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Why it’s worth doing now in Newington
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. In a smaller place like Newington, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, 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.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Newington
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Newington, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Newington Church of England Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Newington
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
The most common problems we see are:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you let a flat or house near Newington station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
