Workplaces and buildings in Woodside
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Norwood Junction station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as St Thomas Becket Catholic Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Woodside is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Woodside: your questions answered
Do you cover Woodside for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Woodside is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Woodside?
Parking in Woodside, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on how much there is to do. In a London area like Woodside, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Woodside and across Greater London. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why book with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
