Fire rated sealant in Well Hill, done properly
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. Typical jobs include ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and flats & HMOs.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. For managing agents and building owners in Well Hill, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Well Hill and everywhere else we cover.

Fire rated sealant in Well Hill: local notes
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Knockholt station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Well Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Well Hill.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Well Hill?
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
The most common problems we see are:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For buildings such as Mission Chapel, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Before booking anyone
- Is VAT in the price?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Well Hill: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Well Hill?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do you cover Well Hill for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Well Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on how much there is to do. In a London area like Well Hill, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
