About our fire rated sealant in Old Ford
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Old Ford. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can help, whatever the surface.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. For a building in Old Ford, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

FAQs for Old Ford
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hackney Wick station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Old Ford?
Parking in Old Ford, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.

Managing a site like Mulberry UTC? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Old Ford is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
When to call us in Old Ford
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Letting a property close to Hackney Wick station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Is VAT in the price?

What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
