Old Oak Common Fire Rated Sealant
Fire-stopping gaps in Old Oak Common need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall

When to call us in Old Oak Common
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Rented homes near Willesden Junction station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Old Oak Common
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open holes round services passing through fire walls, on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in Old Oak Common.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Old Oak Common questions
Is parking a problem for a job in Old Oak Common?
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 take on hotel work around Old Oak Common?
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.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.

Yes, we do. Old Oak Common is part of the area we cover.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
