Signs you need fire rated sealant in Putney Vale
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Managing a site like Hall School Wimbledon? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- Whether VAT is included
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether you can choose the colour
Fire rated sealant in Putney Vale
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you are dealing with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Where a building in Putney Vale 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 else we do in Putney Vale
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the job. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Fire rated sealant in Putney Vale: local notes
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.
Putney Vale is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For buildings such as St John the Baptist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why act early in Putney Vale
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Putney Vale, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy. In Putney Vale, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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 and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Putney Vale: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Putney Vale?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Raynes Park station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we don’t assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each 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. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
