How we handle fire rated sealant in Newney Green
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. Common call-outs are for gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Newney Green, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Newney Green as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Newney Green
Do you cover Newney Green for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Newney Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Newney Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

What affects the quote in Newney Green
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.

Why act early in Newney Green
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Newney Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
