Fire rated sealant in Albany Park
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. If you have door frames with gaps between frame and wall and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. For a building in Albany Park, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Albany Park
Do you cover Albany Park for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Albany Park is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Sidcup station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Albany Park.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. For a job in Albany Park, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Workplaces and buildings in Albany Park
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Albany Park
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Birkbeck Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
