Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Turnpike Lane
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment on buildings across Turnpike Lane. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. Common call-outs are for gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. In Turnpike Lane, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Turnpike Lane
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote

- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Turnpike Lane
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as North Harringay Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. As a London address, Turnpike Lane can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Turnpike Lane
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Community buildings like Church of St John The Baptist (greek Orthodox) are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What to look for in a quote

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Turnpike Lane
I let a flat near Hornsey station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Turnpike Lane?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and the area is left clean. In Turnpike Lane, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we will tell you which one you have.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. 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.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
