- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
About our fire rated sealant in Tufnell Park
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. 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. If you’re dealing with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, 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 Tufnell Park cannot close.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Questions from Tufnell Park
I let a flat near Upper Holloway station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Tufnell Park?
Yes, Tufnell Park is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the quote in Tufnell Park
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few pictures by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.

Other services in Tufnell Park
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Workplaces and buildings in Tufnell Park
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Eleanor Palmer Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Church of St Benet and All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Tufnell Park?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Look out for these signs:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Letting a property close to Upper Holloway station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. In a London area like Tufnell Park, 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.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
