Fire Rated Sealant in White City
Our applicators work in White City on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.

Fire rated sealant in White City, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you have linear gaps at the head of walls and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in White City.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What affects the quote in White City
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. In White City, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Ask for a quote

Advice
Fire rated sealant around White City
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
Community buildings like St Michael and St George are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. White City is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Managing a site like Ark Swift Primary Academy? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Why it’s worth doing now in White City
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in White City
Do you take on hotel work around White City?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
I let a flat near Shepherds Bush station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
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.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
