Workplaces and buildings in West Peckham
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.
Letting a property close to Wateringbury station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Church of St Dunstan are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How we handle fire rated sealant in West Peckham
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Typical jobs include joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near West Peckham, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like West Peckham, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Do you need fire rated sealant in West Peckham?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Holes left by a change of layout
If you look after a building such as Mereworth Community Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long the guarantee is
What happens if it’s left?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In a small place like West Peckham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
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.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
