Fire-rated sealant in North Cray, Greater London
Our applicators work in North Cray on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
Fire rated sealant in North Cray
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. For managing agents and building owners in North Cray, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.

What else we do in North Cray
North Cray questions
Is North Cray in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and North Cray is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in North Cray?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in North Cray?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Fire rated sealant around North Cray
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
North Cray is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Schools such as Royal Park Primary Academy are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Albany Park station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
What happens if it’s left?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in North Cray, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
