Fire rated sealant in Shooter's Hill, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are open gaps behind door architraves and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. In Shooter's Hill, 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 call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Shooter's Hill
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Schools such as Shooters Hill Sixth Form College are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What insurance they hold
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is chosen
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Shooter's Hill. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Questions from Shooter's Hill
Can you do fire rated sealant in Shooter's Hill?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shooter's Hill is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Shooter's Hill?
Parking in Shooter's Hill, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Shooter's Hill, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Fire rated sealant around Shooter's Hill
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Christ Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Falconwood station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What else we do in Shooter's Hill
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
