How we handle fire rated sealant in Fitzrovia
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are fire seals that have cracked with movement and open gaps behind door architraves.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in Fitzrovia, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Fitzrovia and everywhere else we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Fitzrovia
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Fitzrovia is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as All Souls CofE Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Fitzrovia. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- 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.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Fitzrovia
Is parking a problem for a job in Fitzrovia?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you take on hotel work around Fitzrovia?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What we are called out for in Fitzrovia
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Community buildings like Whitefield's Tabernacle are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
