Wimbledon Chase Fire Rated Sealant
Fire-stopping gaps in Wimbledon Chase need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
How we handle fire rated sealant in Wimbledon Chase
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you are dealing with fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help, on linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames alike.
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 Wimbledon Chase, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In Wimbledon Chase, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
FAQs for Wimbledon Chase
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Wimbledon Chase?
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.
Do you work in hotels near Wimbledon Chase?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Wimbledon Chase
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

- The amount of work
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
