How we handle fire rated sealant in Paddington
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Typical jobs include damaged fire sealant left by other trades and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, whether that’s washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Where a building in Paddington needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Paddington and everywhere else we cover.

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. 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.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How the job changes by 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.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Commercial buildings in Paddington
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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.
If you look after a building such as International Community School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Paddington is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
Paddington is about 1 mile west of City of Westminster, in Greater London.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Paddington, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Common questions in Paddington
Can you help a landlord with a rental near London Paddington station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Paddington?
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 ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
What we are called out for in Paddington
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Evangelist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Before booking anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether VAT is included
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
Landlord and commercial work in Paddington
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
