Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Norbiton
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you have damaged fire sealant left by other trades and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. For a building in Norbiton, we agree timings and access before anything starts, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

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 isn’t always sealed again.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Schools such as St Paul's CofE Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Norbiton
Do you work in hotels near Norbiton?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Norbiton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you cover Norbiton?
We do. Norbiton is part of the area we cover.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a job in Norbiton, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
