What fire rated sealant looks like in Hayes
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged 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, 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.
Managing a site like Hawes Down Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as St Mary the Virgin, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Hayes
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames, and the jobs we see most are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and holes left by a change of layout.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. For managing agents and building owners in Hayes, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a flat in Hayes, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s 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:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few photos by email, if you can
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Hayes?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For landlords with property near Hayes (Kent) station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In Hayes, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
