About our fire rated sealant in Norwood New Town
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Typical jobs include damaged fire sealant left by other trades and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. For managing agents and building owners in Norwood New Town, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Norwood New Town?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open joints along the top of partitions
If you look after a building such as Rockmount Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Norwood New Town. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What fire rated sealant looks like in Norwood New Town
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Norwood New Town
Is parking a problem for a job in Norwood New Town?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you work for landlords with property near Gipsy Hill station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Why act early in Norwood New Town
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Norwood New Town, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
