Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
Work in a small place like Woollensbrook is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Woollensbrook
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Westfield Community Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the colour is chosen
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether VAT is included
Why deal with it now?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Woollensbrook, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Common questions in Woollensbrook
Do you cover Woollensbrook for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Woollensbrook is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Woollensbrook?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Woollensbrook
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Catherine & St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Rye House station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

The process

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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 gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
