Fire rated sealant in Charing Hill
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have old fire sealant that has split or come away and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can help, on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations alike.
Somewhere as small as Charing Hill, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Workplaces and buildings in Charing Hill
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, 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.
Schools such as Charing Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Charing Hill questions
Do you cover Charing Hill for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Charing Hill is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Charing Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Charing Hill is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
DIY versus a professional finish
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
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 before the trim goes back.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Charing Hill, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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 and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

When to call us in Charing Hill
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Rented homes near Charing station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Charing Hill
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. Around Charing Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, 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 book with us
