How we handle fire rated sealant in Selhurst
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment for buildings in Selhurst. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. Typical jobs include holes left by a change of layout and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and door frames.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in Selhurst, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Selhurst
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Selhurst is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long the guarantee is
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In Selhurst, 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.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints

Selhurst questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Norwood Junction station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Selhurst?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we’ll flag it.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
Workplaces and buildings in Selhurst
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Selhurst. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mark, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Norwood Junction station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
