Fire rated sealant for Surrey Quays and the surrounding area: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Call for a quick quote.
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
About our fire rated sealant in Surrey Quays
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. Common call-outs are for fire stopping disturbed by later work and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, across door frames, service penetrations and linear gaps.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. For managing agents and building owners in Surrey Quays, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What else we do in Surrey Quays
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is not 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. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Surrey Quays: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Surrey Quays?
Parking in Surrey Quays, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you work in hotels near Surrey Quays?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Surrey Quays?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
When to call us in Surrey Quays
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For landlords with property near Surrey Quays station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What preparation is included
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Fire rated sealant around Surrey Quays
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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 Katharine with St Bartholomew, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Rotherhithe Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
