Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in West Green
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on service penetrations, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. For a building in West Green, we agree timings and access before anything starts, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
Signs you need fire rated sealant in West Green
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Community buildings like St Philip the Apostle are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in West Green. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- 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.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.

We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.

No. We work from the specification you give us, and apply each product to its tested details.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Fire rated sealant around West Green
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around West Green. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
West Green is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a building such as West Green Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
