Mildmay: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Mildmay?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Mildmay?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Fire rated sealant in Mildmay
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about linear gaps at the head of walls and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. For managing agents and building owners in Mildmay, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Mildmay
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Mildmay
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. Mildmay has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Managing a site like Newington Green Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. As a London address, Mildmay can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Rented homes near Dalston Kingsland station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mildmay
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a flat in Mildmay, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start so residents know what to expect.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Mildmay, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Mildmay. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
