Fire rated sealant in Acton Green
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you are dealing with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. For managing agents and building owners in Acton Green, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Acton Green. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- 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.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Commercial buildings in Acton Green
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. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
For buildings such as All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to South Acton station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Ark Priory Primary Academy? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Why it’s worth doing now in Acton Green
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. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Acton Green, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Landlord and commercial work in Acton Green
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Acton Green and across Greater London. Several sites can go on one quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Common questions in Acton Green
Is parking a problem for a job in Acton Green?
Parking in Acton Green, 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near South Acton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
