Fire rated sealant in Pedlars End
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We’re often asked to deal with linear gaps at the head of walls and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.

Will you come out to Pedlars End?
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.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us, and apply each product to its tested details.
Can I add another job to the visit?

Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?

Are you fully insured?

Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.

What else we do in Pedlars End
Commercial buildings in Pedlars End
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.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What we’re called out for in Pedlars End
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Managing a site like Moreton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long to leave it before use
- The length of the guarantee
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Pedlars End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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.
