About our fire rated sealant in Earl's Court
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and door frames, and the jobs we see most are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
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 Earl's Court, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Fire rated sealant in Earl's Court: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Earl's Court. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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.
For landlords with property near West Brompton station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. As a London address, Earl's Court can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Earl's Court questions
Do you work in hotels near Earl's Court?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near West Brompton station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can I do it myself?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Earl's Court. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Earl's Court, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
