What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
Fire rated sealant in Friday Hill, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are open gaps behind door architraves and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
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 Friday Hill, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare

Advice
Fire rated sealant around Friday Hill
Friday Hill has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like Longshaw Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Friday Hill
Is parking a problem for a job in Friday Hill?
Parking in Friday Hill, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you work in hotels near Friday Hill?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used for your files.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
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.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
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 make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For fire rated sealant in Friday Hill, call 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 happens if it’s left?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. 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.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What we’re called out for in Friday Hill
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Friday Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
