Tower Hill questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Tower Hill?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do you work in hotels near Tower Hill?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Do you work in Tower Hill?
We do. Tower Hill is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Fire rated sealant in Tower Hill, 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 service penetrations, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. In Tower Hill, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Tower Hill and across Greater London.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Tower Hill
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Tower Hill
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Tower Hill. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
Community buildings like Church of St Peter ad Vincula are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near London Fenchurch Street station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Common problems we fix in Tower Hill
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.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Schools such as The Aldgate School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
- The length of the guarantee
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

What sealant work can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
