Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hoxton
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you have linear gaps at the head of walls and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can help.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. In Hoxton, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Hoxton?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
If you look after a building such as Shoreditch Park Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
What affects the quote in Hoxton
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. For a job in Hoxton, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
Workplaces and buildings in Hoxton
Hoxton has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
For buildings such as Church of St Anne with St Columba, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. As a London address, Hoxton can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Hoxton, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hoxton
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Hoxton?
Parking in Hoxton, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
I let a flat near Hoxton station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Hoxton?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hoxton
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Landlords and letting agents in Hoxton can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
