Landlord and commercial work in Oakleigh Park
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Oakleigh Park
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have damaged fire sealant left by other trades and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
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 Oakleigh Park, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Why act early in Oakleigh Park
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Oakleigh Park, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Oakleigh Park
Is Oakleigh Park in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Oakleigh Park is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Oakleigh Park station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Workplaces and buildings in Oakleigh Park
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 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.
For buildings such as Church of St John, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Oakleigh Park is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For landlords with property near Oakleigh Park station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
