FAQs: Earlsfield
Can work in a care setting near Earlsfield go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Earlsfield?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How we handle fire stopping in Earlsfield
A fire-rated sealant is only one part of a tested system: the evidence covers a specific product, wall or floor type, service, gap, depth and backing. Before we seal anything, we check the opening against the detail it is meant to follow, and raise it with you if it falls outside. Most enquiries involve fire sealant pulled out of the opening and snag lists that include open service penetrations, across pipe penetrations, cable penetrations and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Earlsfield is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Taller residential buildings in London may fall under the Building Safety Act’s higher-risk regime, where fire-stopping records get close attention. We install what the designer or fire engineer has specified, and if you need records of the work, tell us and we will confirm with the quote.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
Add risers, plant rooms and ceiling voids to routine fire-stopping checks. Watch for cracked sealant, new services with no seal and openings that have grown.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. It tells the next contractor exactly what to reinstate, and it helps at inspections.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Fire stopping around Earlsfield: how the place shapes the job
With tenants changing and fit-outs following, London buildings see service routes altered again and again. We seal to the specification and the product’s tested detail, working within the building’s permits. The 2 miles around Earlsfield include five care or nursing homes. In a care home, any new pipe or cable through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Where that’s fire-rated sealant, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
For a building at a site such as Rufus Business Centre, less than half a mile to the south-west of Earlsfield, a check of penetration seals after each fit-out is good practice. For an estates team at a campus like BIMM University, which lies north of Earlsfield, summer M&E works are usually followed by a round of penetration sealing. Shop fits in centres such as Priory Retail Park (to the south of Earlsfield) can bring new services through fire-resisting walls between units, which then need the specified seal.

How the job changes by surface
Small ducts
We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. Dampers and ductwork systems themselves are outside our work.
Drylining partitions
Drylined fire walls are tested in a particular build-up. The sealant detail has to be tested in that wall type, with the stated board layers.

How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Cost factors for service penetrations
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- When you need the work done
- The site address and postcode
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
