When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Bromley Common
A fire-rated sealant is only one part of a tested system: its test evidence covers one product in one kind of wall or floor, with set services, gaps, depths and backing. We match each opening to that detail before any sealant goes in, and raise it with you if it falls outside. If you’re dealing with damaged fire seals in risers and voids and old intumescent sealant that has split away, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Bromley Common? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In a London area such as Bromley Common, buildings are refitted often, and every new cable, pipe or duct through a fire-resisting wall or floor leaves a gap. Each service penetration gets fire-rated or intumescent sealant if that’s what is specified, laid to the product’s tested arrangement.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- Access and working height
- Travel to remote or island sites

Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Compartments and services around Bromley Common
Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail. A 2-mile radius around Bromley Common takes in a number of hotels. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
For an estates team at a campus like University of Greenwich - Avery Hill, 4.7 miles north-east of Bromley Common, summer M&E works are typically followed by a round of penetration sealing. Offices at parks like Chartwell Business Centre, 1 mile north of Bromley Common, are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail. Colleges such as Bromley College (to the north of Bromley Common) add IT and services as courses change, and each new penetration through a fire-resisting wall needs sealing with the specified product.

Your questions answered
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
Can you work in a care home near Bromley Common with residents in?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
What does an EI 60 rating mean?
Penetration seals are tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4. Classification follows BS EN 13501-2, where E is integrity, I is insulation and the number is minutes, as in EI 60. That rating only holds when the product is installed to its tested detail.
Can you tell us what fire stopping our building needs?
No, we don’t design fire stopping. With the designer’s details in hand, we can price the sealant elements.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What the job involves on each surface
Linear joints
Joints at the top of partitions may need to move as the slab above deflects. We use the product and backing the detail names for that movement, with no gaps along the run.
Drylining partitions
Plasterboard partitions are tested as a specific construction. The sealant detail has to be tested in that wall type, with the stated board layers.

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
