Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hackney
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and linear gaps, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. For a building in Hackney, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What affects the quote in Hackney
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
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.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
FAQs for Hackney
I let a flat near Homerton station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Hackney?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Hackney?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used.
Commercial buildings in Hackney
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Hackney. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
For buildings such as Church of St Luke, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Berger Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For landlords with property near Homerton station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What else we do in Hackney
Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a flat in Hackney, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- We’re fully insured
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In Hackney, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. 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.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints
