Commercial buildings in Petersham
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Peter's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near St Margarets (London) station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Russell Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Petersham
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you’re dealing with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can put it right, on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and door frames alike.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Petersham can’t close.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Petersham questions
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Petersham?
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 in hotels near Petersham?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you cover Petersham?
We do. Petersham is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Petersham
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a flat in Petersham, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
