Fire rated sealant in Hyde Park Estate: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. 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 Hyde Park Estate. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Hyde Park Estate is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Community buildings like Church of St John the Evangelist are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Fire rated sealant in Hyde Park Estate, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We are often asked to deal with old fire sealant that has split or come away and open joints along the top of partitions, across linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, whether that is washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Hyde Park Estate can’t close.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- The amount of work
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Common questions in Hyde Park Estate
Do you work for landlords with property near London Paddington station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Hyde Park Estate?
Parking in Hyde Park Estate, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take 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 Hyde Park Estate. 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hyde Park Estate
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we’ll flag it.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
