DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Fire rated sealant in West End
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps around fire door frames and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and linear gaps.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. For managing agents and building owners in West End, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Workplaces and buildings in West End
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around West End. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
West End is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Soho Parish CofE Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Tottenham Court Road station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing.
West End: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around West End?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in West End?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a job in West End, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Why it’s worth doing now in West End
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. 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. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in West End.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
