Fire rated sealant in Single Street, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include holes left by a change of layout and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. For managing agents and building owners in Single Street, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Single Street: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Single Street?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
I let a flat near Chelsfield station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use and we plan access around the people using them. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Why act early in Single Street
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, 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 Single Street. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What fire rated sealant looks like in Single Street
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. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Chelsfield station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Single Street?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Look out for these signs:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
If you look after a building such as Cudham Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How hidden problems are handled
- What preparation is included
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
How we quote for fire rated sealant

- How easy the joints are to reach

- How many areas need sealing
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 make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
