Fire rated sealant in Southall, done properly
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment for buildings in Southall. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. Common call-outs are for linear gaps at the head of walls and open gaps behind door architraves, on linear gaps, door frames and pipe & cable gaps.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. In Southall, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Southall and across Greater London.

Commercial buildings in Southall
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. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
Southall is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Community buildings like Saint John are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

- Working hours on commercial sites

Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. 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 and the job gets bigger.

Other services in Southall
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In Southall, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
What we’re called out for in Southall
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Schools such as Hambrough Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What to look for in a quote
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What insurance they hold
- Whether VAT is included
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Southall
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Southall station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Southall?
Parking in Southall, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you work in Southall?
Yes. We work in Southall, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Why deal with it now?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Southall.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.
