- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own

Fire rated sealant in Pitshanger
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Typical jobs include open joints along the top of partitions and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. For a building in Pitshanger, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Common problems we fix in Pitshanger
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.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For buildings such as Church of St Barnabas, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen

Workplaces and buildings in Pitshanger
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
Managing a site like North Ealing Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Castle Bar Park station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Pitshanger?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.

Do you work in Pitshanger?

Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
