Fire rated sealant in Cowley
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We’re often asked to deal with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, across pipe & cable gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. For a building in Cowley, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

What else we do in Cowley
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

FAQs for Cowley
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Cowley?
Parking in Cowley, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do you work for landlords with property near West Drayton station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
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.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Workplaces and buildings in Cowley
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
Managing a site like Cowley St Laurence CofE Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Church of St Laurence are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What we’re called out for in Cowley
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
As a London address, Cowley can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the amount of work. For a job in Cowley, 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.
