Fire rated sealant in Upper Holloway, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and open joints along the top of partitions.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in Upper Holloway.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Upper Holloway as everywhere else we work.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Fire rated sealant in Upper Holloway: local notes
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. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
Letting a property close to Upper Holloway station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as St Andrew's Whitehall Park, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as St John's Upper Holloway CofE Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Leave it or put it right?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a flat in Upper Holloway, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We never seal over old sealant

Upper Holloway questions
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Upper Holloway?
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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Upper Holloway station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a London area like Upper Holloway, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
What affects the quote in Upper Holloway
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We quote each job on its own. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
