Fire rated sealant in West Ham
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are linear gaps at the head of walls and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in West Ham.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in West Ham
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

FAQs for West Ham
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in West Ham?
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.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in West Ham?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Do you work in West Ham?
Yes. We cover West Ham and the rest of Greater London. To book, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Fire rated sealant around West Ham
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
As a London address, West Ham can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Schools such as West Ham Church Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a flat in West Ham, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. In West Ham, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
