Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Lower Clapton
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Typical jobs include joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Lower Clapton cannot close.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in Lower Clapton
Fire rated sealant around Lower Clapton
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Lower Clapton. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Rented homes near Homerton station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like United Reformed Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Lower Clapton
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
When to call us in Lower Clapton
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
As a London address, Lower Clapton can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
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 will tell you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Clapton
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Landlords and agents in Lower Clapton can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Lower Clapton. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
