Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
Fire rated sealant in Elm Park
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Typical jobs include open gaps behind door architraves and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. In Elm Park, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Elm Park
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Elm Park?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Emerson Park station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you come to Elm Park?
Yes. We work in Elm Park, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For fire rated sealant in Elm Park, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you will get a clear quote before work begins.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Full insurance on every job
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Old sealant always removed completely
See our cost guide or our reviews.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
Common problems we fix in Elm Park
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Elm Park Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What insurance they hold
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Elm Park. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- 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.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Elm Park
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. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Nicholas Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to Emerson Park station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
