What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in West Norwood
Do you work in hotels near West Norwood?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
I let a flat near West Norwood station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.

What else we do in West Norwood
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Norwood
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What we’re called out for in West Norwood
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Letting a property close to West Norwood station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Before you book anyone
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. In West Norwood, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.

- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.

- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Fire rated sealant in West Norwood: local notes
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
West Norwood is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as West Norwood Congregational Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
