Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Widmore
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. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs alike.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Widmore can’t close.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In Widmore, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we’ll flag it.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Why act early in Widmore
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Widmore, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

- Arbo and Everbuild products

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Widmore
Is parking a problem for a job in Widmore?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
I let a flat near Bickley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Fire rated sealant around Widmore
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Widmore. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
Letting a property close to Bickley station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. 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. As a London address, Widmore can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
