About our fire rated sealant in Penn Street
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and linear gaps alike.
In a village or hamlet like Penn Street, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run leaving no stretch unsealed.

Yes, Penn Street is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Penn Street?
Yes. Penn Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Common problems we fix in Penn Street
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Letting a property close to Amersham station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before booking

- The length of the guarantee
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Penn Street, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry

- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
Why it’s worth doing now in Penn Street
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. In a small place like Penn Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Penn Street
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.
Schools such as Curzon Church of England Combined School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Holy Trinity, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
