Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in East End of London
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We’re often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and fire seals that have cracked with movement, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and linear gaps.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, whether that is washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Where a building in East End of London needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In East End of London, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Common problems we fix in East End of London
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mary and St Michael Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
