The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Upper Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Fire rated sealant in Upper Street
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. If you have door frames with gaps between frame and wall and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Street, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Commercial buildings in Upper Street
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Upper Street
Will you come out to Upper Street?
Yes. Upper Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Upper Street for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Upper Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t 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; we install to those details and record what we did.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Upper Street
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Holes left by a change of layout
Managing a site like Breamore Church of England Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Before booking anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
