About our fire rated sealant in Aldersbrook
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That is the part we focus on, gap by gap. We are often asked to deal with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. In Aldersbrook, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Aldersbrook questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wanstead Park station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you take on hotel work around Aldersbrook?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Aldersbrook
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a job in Aldersbrook, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Commercial buildings in Aldersbrook
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
Letting a property close to Wanstead Park station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Church of St Gabriel are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Aldersbrook is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Why act early in Aldersbrook
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Aldersbrook.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
