Fire-rated sealant in Brunswick Park, Greater London
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Brunswick Park? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Fire rated sealant in Brunswick Park, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. For managing agents and building owners in Brunswick Park, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Brunswick Park and across Greater London.

Fire rated sealant in Brunswick Park: local notes
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Oakleigh Community Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. As a London address, Brunswick Park can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before we start.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Brunswick Park
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry

Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Questions from Brunswick Park
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Brunswick Park?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Brunswick Park?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
What sealant do you use?
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.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
Common problems we fix in Brunswick Park
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Schools such as St Andrew the Apostle Greek Orthodox School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if the job turns out different
The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In Brunswick Park, 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.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
