How we handle fire rated sealant in West Heath
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you’re dealing with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, whether that is washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in West Heath can’t close.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the quote in West Heath
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
We quote each job on its own. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start so residents know what to expect.
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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
West Heath questions
Is parking a problem for a job in West Heath?
Parking in West Heath, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Do you work for landlords with property near Abbey Wood station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What we’re called out for in West Heath
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Andrew's, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Other services in West Heath
Fire rated sealant around West Heath
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
West Heath is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a building such as Hillsgrove Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. 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.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
