Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
Fire rated sealant in Tattenham Corner
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, and we can record what went where. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and new service routes left unsealed after building work, across plasterboard & masonry, door frames and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Tattenham Corner, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Commercial buildings in Tattenham Corner
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.
Community buildings like St Mark are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like Epsom Downs Primary School and Children's Centre? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Tattenham Corner needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?

Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.

Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Tattenham Corner
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
If you let a flat or house near Tattenham Corner station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What else we do in Tattenham Corner
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
