Fire Rated Sealant in Stratford
Fire-stopping gaps in Stratford need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Stratford

If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames, and the jobs we see most are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and holes left by a change of layout.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in Stratford.

Workplaces and buildings in Stratford
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. Stratford has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
If you let a flat or house near Stratford (London) station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as Church of St John the Evangelist, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a London area like Stratford, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.

Why act early in Stratford
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. 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. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Stratford.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- One-year guarantee on every job
- We leave the area clean and tidy
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Common problems we fix in Stratford
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Stratford is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
