Donnybrook Quarter Fire Rated Sealant
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Donnybrook Quarter? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. In a London area like Donnybrook Quarter, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- 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 and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How we handle fire rated sealant in Donnybrook Quarter
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. We are often asked to deal with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and open holes round services passing through fire walls, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps.
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 Donnybrook Quarter, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Donnybrook Quarter?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For buildings such as St Paul Old Ford, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Donnybrook Quarter
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Donnybrook Quarter, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Why Donnybrook Quarter customers choose us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Questions from Donnybrook Quarter
Do you work in hotels near Donnybrook Quarter?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hackney Wick station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
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.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
