What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Pondwell, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Fire rated sealant in Pondwell, 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. If you have holes left by a change of layout and open joints along the top of partitions, we can help, on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps alike.
Somewhere as small as Pondwell, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Should I try it myself 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, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Pondwell
Do you cover smaller places like Pondwell?
Yes, Pondwell is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Smallbrook Junction station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Pondwell
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St. Peter's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. In a small place like Pondwell, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
