Fire rated sealant in Seven Kings
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. If you are dealing with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Seven Kings cannot close.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a London area like Seven Kings, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions

When to call us in Seven Kings
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
As a London address, Seven Kings can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job

Why act early in Seven Kings
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Seven Kings, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Fire rated sealant in Seven Kings: local notes
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like St John the Evangelist are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like Downshall Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Common questions in Seven Kings
Do you take on hotel work around Seven Kings?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you work for landlords with property near Seven Kings station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
