How we handle fire rated sealant in Aldborough Hatch
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you are dealing with open holes round services passing through fire walls and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations alike.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Where a building in Aldborough Hatch needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Workplaces and buildings in Aldborough Hatch
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
As a London address, Aldborough Hatch can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as William Torbitt Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Aldborough Hatch
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Why it’s worth doing now in Aldborough Hatch
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that doesn’t depend on other work. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Aldborough Hatch, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Is parking a problem for a job in Aldborough Hatch?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Does someone need to be in?

What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
