Fire-rated sealant in Brompton, Greater London
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for Brompton, backed by a one-year guarantee. Call for a quick quote.
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Brompton
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We are often asked to deal with gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, whether that’s washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Where a building in Brompton needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own 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 Brompton, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Brompton and across Greater London. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Brompton
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Brompton?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Brompton?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Fire rated sealant in Brompton: local notes
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. 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.
For landlords with property near London Victoria station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like Church of St Simon Zelotes are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hellenic College of London, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How we quote for fire rated sealant

- Working hours on commercial sites
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
