Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hackney Marshes
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps around fire door frames and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. For managing agents and building owners in Hackney Marshes, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we’ll flag it.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Hackney Marshes. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
When to call us in Hackney Marshes
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
As a London address, Hackney Marshes can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use

What affects the quote in Hackney Marshes
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
FAQs for Hackney Marshes
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lea Bridge station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Hackney Marshes?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Hackney Marshes?
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. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Fire rated sealant in Hackney Marshes: local notes
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, 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, 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.
Schools such as Kingsmead Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Risen Christ and All Souls, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
