Surrey Canal questions
I let a flat near South Bermondsey station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Surrey Canal?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Do you cover Surrey Canal?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Surrey Canal.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
About our fire rated sealant in Surrey Canal
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. Typical jobs include gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, across plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. For managing agents and building owners in Surrey Canal, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common problems we fix in Surrey Canal
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Managing a site like Ilderton Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What guarantee comes with the work
Can I do it myself?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. In Surrey Canal, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
