Fire-rated sealant in Richmond, Greater London
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Richmond, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a one-year guarantee.
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Fire rated sealant in Richmond, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. If you’re dealing with fire seals that have cracked with movement and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations alike.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, whether that’s washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Richmond can’t close.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
When to call us in Richmond
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
If you let a flat or house near Richmond station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a London area like Richmond, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
Ask for a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.

What else we do in Richmond
What fire rated sealant looks like in Richmond
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
Richmond is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Schools such as The Vineyard School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

FAQs for Richmond
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Richmond?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is parking a problem for a job in Richmond?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
