Fire rated sealant in Temple, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on door frames, service penetrations and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and holes left by a change of layout.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. For a building in Temple, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Fire rated sealant in Temple: local notes
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Temple is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Rented homes near London Blackfriars station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Why act early in Temple
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Temple, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Common problems we fix in Temple
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Schools such as St Clement Danes CofE Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
