Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Bishopsgate
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 detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. If you are dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations alike.
Work in a small place like Bishopsgate is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bishopsgate, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
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
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Bishopsgate?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Letting a property close to Egham station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Bishopsgate needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Other services in Bishopsgate
Fire rated sealant in Bishopsgate: local notes
Bishopsgate has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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.
Managing a site like St John's Beaumont School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Royal Chapel of All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Bishopsgate questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Egham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Bishopsgate?
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 intumescent mean?
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 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.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
