- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Fire rated sealant in Pollards Hill, done properly
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry.
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. Where a building in Pollards Hill needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. In a London area like Pollards Hill, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What fire rated sealant looks like in Pollards Hill
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Pollards Hill. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
For landlords with property near Norbury station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like St Oswald are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

Questions from Pollards Hill
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Pollards Hill?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Pollards Hill?
Parking in Pollards Hill, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
