About our fire rated sealant in Ickenham
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We’re often asked to deal with fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps left after a refit or conversion, on door frames, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in Ickenham.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
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 tell you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ickenham
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Ickenham?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Managing a site like The Douay Martyrs Catholic School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Ickenham
Can you do fire rated sealant in Ickenham?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ickenham is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near West Ruislip station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used for your files.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Ickenham
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near West Ruislip station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Giles' Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
