Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
Give the sealant its full cure time before ceilings, boxing or decoration go over it. Some fire-rated sealants accept paint and some don’t, so check the product data first.
Looking at service areas on a regular cycle pays off. A cracked or disturbed seal found early is a small job; found late, it can be one of many.
How we handle fire stopping in North Brixton
It helps to set out our role at the start. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance in North Brixton and nearby. The enquiries we see most involve old intumescent sealant that has split away and improvised or mixed-product fire seals, across pipe penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in North Brixton, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In a London area such as North Brixton, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Compartments and services around North Brixton
Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements.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. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from North Brixton. Care settings depend on compartmentation, so service penetrations made during maintenance or refurbishment need sealing with the specified product.
In a retail centre such as Southernwood Retail Park, which lies north-east of North Brixton, any fire-resisting wall between units that is crossed by new services needs sealing to the tested detail. On a site such as Kennington Park Business Centre, which lies north of North Brixton, every fit-out that runs new services through a compartment wall leaves penetrations to seal with the specified product.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Travel to remote or island sites
Pricing service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any specification or named product
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
When to call us in North Brixton
Mixing products or improvising a detail breaks the link with the test evidence. Gaps beyond the tested size, shallow sealant, no backing where it was needed, or products from different systems mixed together are what we find most often.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Openings left by services added after handover
Residences at universities like King's College London (0.9 miles east of North Brixton) have compartment walls that must be resealed whenever services change.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Lambeth Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work in a care home near North Brixton 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 will work to them.
What does an EI 60 rating mean?
BS EN 1366-3 covers penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 covers linear joints. Classification follows BS EN 13501-2. That rating only holds when the product is installed to its tested detail.
Do you hold third-party fire-stopping installer certification?
No. We are not members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme. Our credentials are CHAS accreditation, Constructionline membership and CSCS-carded applicators, and we are fully insured. If your contract requires third-party installer certification, we’re not the right fit for that package.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you design or specify fire stopping?
No. Deciding what is needed sits with the designer, fire engineer and building control. Our role is fitting the specified fire-rated sealant, following the maker’s tested details.
From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
