Fire rated sealant in Bloomsbury, done properly
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Bloomsbury. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. Common call-outs are for open holes round services passing through fire walls and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, across plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and linear gaps.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, whether that is washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Bloomsbury cannot close.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Bloomsbury?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Community buildings like St George the Martyr Holborn are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is VAT in the price?
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the colour is chosen
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If someone has resealed it before
For fire rated sealant in Bloomsbury, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Bloomsbury. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

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 email photos if that is easy.

Surface by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Common questions in Bloomsbury
Do you take on hotel work around Bloomsbury?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near London Euston station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Bloomsbury
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. Bloomsbury has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
As a London address, Bloomsbury can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a building such as UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Service penetrations

Why act early in Bloomsbury
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Bloomsbury, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
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.
