Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in West Twyford
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We are often asked to deal with new service routes left unsealed after building work and old fire sealant that has split or come away, on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Where a building in West Twyford needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

West Twyford questions
Is parking a problem for a job in West Twyford?
Parking in West Twyford, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
I let a flat near Stonebridge Park station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in West Twyford?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In West Twyford, 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.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

West Twyford is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in West Twyford
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.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
If you let a flat or house near Stonebridge Park station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long the guarantee is
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in West Twyford, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
