About our fire rated sealant in Summerstown
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can help.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. In Summerstown, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Summerstown and across Greater London.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Summerstown: your questions answered
Can you do fire rated sealant in Summerstown?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Summerstown is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Earlsfield station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
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. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Summerstown and the rest of Greater London, along with the rest of our area.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Summerstown
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Summerstown, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Fire rated sealant in Summerstown: local notes
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as St Mary's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Earlsfield station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

When to call us in Summerstown
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 doesn’t always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Summerstown is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?
