How we handle fire rated sealant in Waddon
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We are often asked to deal with open holes round services passing through fire walls and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, across door frames, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. In Waddon, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Workplaces and buildings in Waddon
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Managing a site like Aerodrome Primary Academy? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St George, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a flat in Waddon, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us

How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.

Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you come to Waddon?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Waddon.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
When to call us in Waddon
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
The most common problems we see are:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Letting a property close to Waddon station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
