Fire rated sealant in Westbourne
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on. Typical jobs include gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and old fire sealant that has split or come away, across door frames, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. For a building in Westbourne, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Westbourne?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For landlords with property near London Paddington station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
- How the colour is chosen
- What product goes in the joint
Why it’s worth doing now in Westbourne
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Full insurance on every job
- Tidy, careful work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Westbourne
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with

What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Westbourne
I let a flat near London Paddington station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Westbourne?
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 I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In Westbourne, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Fire rated sealant in Westbourne: 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. Westbourne has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Stephen's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as St. Mary of the Angels Catholic Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
