Fire rated sealant in Seething Wells, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on service penetrations, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about fire seals that have cracked with movement and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. In Seething Wells, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Seething Wells
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Seething Wells. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.

Why it’s worth doing now in Seething Wells
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Seething Wells, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What we’re called out for in Seething Wells
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open joints along the top of partitions
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Andrew's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins.

- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.

Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Seething Wells questions
I let a flat near Surbiton station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is parking a problem for a job in Seething Wells?
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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
