What affects the quote in Thamesmead
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Fire rated sealant in Thamesmead
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on door frames, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. For a building in Thamesmead, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Thamesmead
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. 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.
Thamesmead is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Rented homes near Abbey Wood station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Advice
FAQs for Thamesmead
I let a flat near Abbey Wood station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Thamesmead for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Thamesmead is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. In a flat in Thamesmead, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
