Fire rated sealant in Loughborough Junction
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. Typical jobs include gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and fire stopping disturbed by later work, across plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. For a building in Loughborough Junction, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Loughborough Junction
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Loughborough Junction?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
I let a flat near Loughborough Junction station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
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.

Schools such as St Saviour's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
