Fire rated sealant around St Denys
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like St Denys, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around St Denys. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
If you look after a building such as St Denys Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. A visit to St Denys is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Homes in smaller places like St Denys can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

St Denys questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in St Denys?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is St Denys within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in St Denys?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

What else we do in St Denys
Common problems we fix in St Denys
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 they leave does not always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For landlords with property near St Denys station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
