About our fire rated sealant in Canary Wharf
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. 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’re often asked to deal with old fire sealant that has split or come away and fire stopping disturbed by later work, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and door frames.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. For a building in Canary Wharf, we agree timings and access before anything starts, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Questions from Canary Wharf
I let a flat near Canary Wharf station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Canary Wharf?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will tell you when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
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.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Canary Wharf
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Look out for these signs:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Peter's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a job in Canary Wharf, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts so residents know what to expect.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
