How we handle fire rated sealant in Hackney Central
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have door frames with gaps between frame and wall and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can help, whatever the surface.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, whether that’s washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Hackney Central can’t close.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- 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
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was 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 job gets bigger.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Hackney Central?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Managing a site like Gayhurst Community School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What affects the quote in Hackney Central
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints

Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work.
Why act early in Hackney Central
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Hackney Central, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Common questions in Hackney Central
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Hackney Central?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near London Fields station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
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. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a job in Hackney Central, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
