Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. 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. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, 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 for homes in Millbank.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Fire rated sealant in Millbank, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and the jobs we see most are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. For a building in Millbank, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Fire rated sealant around Millbank
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. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
If you let a flat or house near London Victoria station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as Christ Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Common problems we fix in Millbank
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Schools such as Harris Westminster Sixth Form are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- What product goes in the joint

FAQs for Millbank
Is parking a problem for a job in Millbank?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you work for landlords with property near London Victoria station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Millbank?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What the job involves on each surface
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 to keep disruption down.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
