Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Paddington Green and across Greater London. We can quote a run of properties together.
Fire rated sealant in Paddington Green
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and open gaps behind door architraves.
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 Paddington Green, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What else we do in Paddington Green
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up. In Paddington Green, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
Can I do it myself?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Paddington Green
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For landlords with property near London Paddington station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Paddington Green: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Paddington Green?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you work for landlords with property near London Paddington station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Paddington Green

Managing a site like Ark Paddington Green Primary Academy? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Paddington Green is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In a flat in Paddington Green, 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 it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
