Landlord and commercial work in Little Venice
Landlords and letting agents in Little Venice can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Little Venice
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We are often asked to deal with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, across linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. In Little Venice, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

- The address or postcode of the job

Fire rated sealant around Little Venice
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Little Venice. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Saviour's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. As a London address, Little Venice can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Other services in Little Venice
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
FAQs for Little Venice
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Little Venice?
Parking in Little Venice, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Do you work in hotels near Little Venice?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Little Venice?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
When to call us in Little Venice
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Letting a property close to London Paddington station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
