Fire rated sealant in Hampton Wick
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across Hampton Wick. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. In Hampton Wick, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Commercial buildings in Hampton Wick
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Hampton Wick. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Community buildings like All Saints Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Hampton Wick station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Hampton Wick questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Hampton Wick station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Hampton Wick?
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.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.
When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Hampton Wick, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We are fully insured
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Common problems we fix in Hampton Wick
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open gaps behind door architraves
As a London address, Hampton Wick can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a job in Hampton Wick, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Do not 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.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
