How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Upper Kingston
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Upper Kingston, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Upper Kingston, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Commercial buildings in Upper Kingston
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Upper Kingston. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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 Trinity Congregational Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Upper Kingston questions
Will you come out to Upper Kingston?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Upper Kingston for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Upper Kingston is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What we’re called out for in Upper Kingston
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Schools such as Ringwood Junior School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
