Fire rated sealant in Ealing
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We are often asked to deal with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, across flats & HMOs, linear gaps and service penetrations.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. In Ealing, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In Ealing, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Ealing
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
What affects the quote in Ealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints

Ealing: your questions answered
I let a flat near Ealing Broadway station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Ealing?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Ealing?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Rented homes near Ealing Broadway station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Fire rated sealant in Ealing: local notes
Ealing has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as St Saviour's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Ealing Independent College are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
