Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Whitechapel
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Common call-outs are for linear gaps at the head of walls and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. For a building in Whitechapel, we agree timings and access before anything starts, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal

Workplaces and buildings in Whitechapel
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Whitechapel. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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.
For landlords with property near Whitechapel station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like Canon Barnett Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Common problems we fix in Whitechapel
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
As a London address, Whitechapel can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are from start to finish. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Questions from Whitechapel
I let a flat near Whitechapel station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Whitechapel?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
