Fire-rated sealant in Hounslow, Greater London
Our applicators work in Hounslow on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.

- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
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.
Fire rated sealant in Hounslow, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you’re dealing with holes left by a change of layout and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and service penetrations alike.
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 Hounslow, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Hounslow
Is parking a problem for a job in Hounslow?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you take on hotel work around Hounslow?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Hounslow?
There’s no set price, as it 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.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations

What else we do in Hounslow
Why it’s worth doing now in Hounslow
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. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google

Common problems we fix in Hounslow
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For landlords with property near Hounslow station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Are they insured?
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Fire rated sealant in Hounslow: local notes
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Hounslow. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
