Fire rated sealant in Spitalfields
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, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on door frames, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. For a building in Spitalfields, we agree timings and access before anything starts, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Spitalfields and everywhere else we cover.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Spitalfields. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.

Workplaces and buildings in Spitalfields
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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.
For buildings such as Christ Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For landlords with property near London Liverpool Street station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Makers Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.

What else we do in Spitalfields
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Spitalfields, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
