Stubbings: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Furze Platt station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Stubbings for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Stubbings is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do I have to be there?
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.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Stubbings
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. If you have old fire sealant that has split or come away and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Stubbings is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start to keep disruption down.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run leaving no stretch unsealed.

What we are called out for in Stubbings
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you look after a building such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What fire rated sealant looks like in Stubbings
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Furze Platt station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Church of St. James the Less are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why act early in Stubbings
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Stubbings, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
