Fire rated sealant in South Bermondsey
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in South Bermondsey can’t close.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in South Bermondsey as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Common questions in South Bermondsey
Do you work in hotels near South Bermondsey?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is parking a problem for a job in South Bermondsey?
Parking in South Bermondsey, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the property is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
What we are called out for in South Bermondsey
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Community buildings like Church of St Augustine are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What the job involves on each surface
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’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In a flat in South Bermondsey, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
