Landlord and commercial work in Plashet
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Plashet. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Questions from Plashet
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Plashet?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you cover Plashet for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Plashet is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.

More services for Plashet
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Why deal with it now?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a flat in Plashet, 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

When to call us in Plashet
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For buildings such as Church of St Barnabas, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Fire rated sealant around Plashet
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
As a London address, Plashet can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Letting a property close to Woodgrange Park station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
