Fire-rated sealant in Clapton, Greater London
Our applicators work in Clapton on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Why it’s worth doing now in Clapton
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Clapton, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
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.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Clapton
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. Common call-outs are for damaged fire sealant left by other trades and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, on flats & HMOs, door frames and pipe & cable gaps.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. For managing agents and building owners in Clapton, 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 one-year guarantee in Clapton and across Greater London.

Questions from Clapton
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Clapton?
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 Clapton?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do you cover Clapton?
We do. Clapton is part of the area we cover.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, 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.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Door frames

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a London area like Clapton, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Workplaces and buildings in Clapton
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Clapton. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you let a flat or house near Clapton station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as BSix Sixth Form College, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What we are called out for in Clapton
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Clapton is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Linear gaps
