About our fire rated sealant in Notting Hill
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you are dealing with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and pipe & cable gaps alike.
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 Notting Hill, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Notting Hill
Do you take on hotel work around Notting Hill?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Notting Hill?
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.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
Why act early in Notting Hill
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

What we are called out for in Notting Hill
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For buildings such as St John's Notting Hill, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Workplaces and buildings in Notting Hill
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Clement and St James CofE Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. As a London address, Notting Hill can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
