Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Farringdon
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Typical jobs include open gaps behind door architraves and open holes round services passing through fire walls, across linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, whether that’s washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Where a building in Farringdon needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal

Common questions in Farringdon
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Farringdon?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
I let a flat near Farringdon station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.

What else we do in Farringdon
Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Farringdon, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Farringdon
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Farringdon station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Charterhouse Square School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
When to call us in Farringdon
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Community buildings like St John Clerkenwell are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long the guarantee is
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
