Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. In a flat in Oakthorpe Park, 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

About our fire rated sealant in Oakthorpe Park
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 the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you’re dealing with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, whether that’s washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Where a building in Oakthorpe Park needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Oakthorpe Park
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Look out for these signs:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Michael-at-Bowes, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who turns up on the day
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In Oakthorpe Park, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- 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.
- 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Oakthorpe Park
Workplaces and buildings in Oakthorpe Park
Oakthorpe Park 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. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
As a London address, Oakthorpe Park can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For landlords with property near Palmers Green station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
