About our fire rated sealant in Slade Green
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and service penetrations, and people most often call us about sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and open gaps behind door architraves.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. In Slade Green, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

More services for Slade Green
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Common questions in Slade Green
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Slade Green?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you work for landlords with property near Slade Green station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Slade Green?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Common problems we fix in Slade Green
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Managing a site like St. Paul's (Slade Green) Church of England Primary School? 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 all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
