Fire-rated sealant in Sutton Common, Greater London

Fire rated sealant in Sutton Common, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you are dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can help, on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps alike.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, whether that is washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Sutton Common can’t close.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. In a London area like Sutton Common, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive

What fire rated sealant looks like in Sutton Common
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. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Lawrence Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near St Helier station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Sutton Common: your questions answered

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Sutton Common?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not 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, and we install to them.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- 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
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Sutton Common?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Look out for any of the following:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
As a London address, Sutton Common can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sutton Common
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
