DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. In a London area like South Ealing, 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 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.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Common problems we fix in South Ealing
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Letting a property close to Brentford station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

South Ealing questions
I let a flat near Brentford station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in South Ealing?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Do you work in South Ealing?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
Commercial buildings in South Ealing
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around South Ealing. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like Grange Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
