Fire Rated Sealant in Bankside
Our applicators work in Bankside on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.

- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
How we handle fire rated sealant in Bankside
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about new service routes left unsealed after building work and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. For a building in Bankside, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Questions from Bankside
I let a flat near London Blackfriars station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Bankside?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Bankside?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
If you look after a building such as London Nautical School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Fire rated sealant around Bankside
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, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
Community buildings like St Mary Mounthaw are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. As a London address, Bankside can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Bankside is about 1 mile north of London, in Greater London. From the centre of Bankside to the outskirts, we cover fire rated sealant for every kind of property, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. We cover 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
We work across SE1, EC4Y and EC4V for fire rated sealant. Fire rated sealant is available to properties on Bear Lane, Bush Lane and Swan Lane and the roads around them. Bankside is on the A201 and A300, which makes it straightforward to reach with everything needed for fire rated sealant. Other places close to Bankside include Blackfriars (1 mile north-west), Temple (1 mile north-west), Temple Bar (1 mile north-west), Waterloo (1 mile south-west) and Smithfield (1 mile north). Further out, we also cover Kensington (4 miles west), Walthamstow (6 miles north-east), Hampstead (5 miles north-west), Ruislip (14 miles west), Brompton (3 miles west) and Stockwell (3 miles south).
Near you in Bankside
We work in homes and buildings around St Mary-at-Hill, Bernie Spain Gardens and St Andrew's and St John's Church of England Primary School, among other places. You’ll also find Barts Health Archives (0.6 miles north), The Cathedral School of St Saviour and St Mary Overy (0.5 miles south-east) and Founders Arms (within half a mile west). There’s a railway station in Bankside itself: London Blackfriars station. Other landmarks nearby include Royal Waterloo Hospital for Children and Women (0.6 miles west) and Gabriel's Wharf (under half a mile west). For a walk, there’s Ludgate Hill and Barnsbury Wood.
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Bankside.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In Bankside, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- 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
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
