Fire rated sealant in Temple Bar, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include linear gaps at the head of walls and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, 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 Temple Bar can’t close.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Commercial buildings in Temple Bar
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Temple Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Clement Danes CofE Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to City Thameslink station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a London area like Temple Bar, 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.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Why act early in Temple Bar
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In a flat in Temple Bar, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
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 sealant bonds.
Temple Bar: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near City Thameslink station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Temple Bar?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
