Fire-rated sealant in Yiewsley, Greater London

Fire rated sealant in Yiewsley, done properly
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. If you have old fire sealant that has split or come away and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help, whatever the surface.
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 Yiewsley.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system

Yiewsley questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Yiewsley?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Yiewsley?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.
When to call us in Yiewsley
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Look out for these signs:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
As a London address, Yiewsley can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What the cure time is
- Whether VAT is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Why it’s worth doing now in Yiewsley
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Yiewsley, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, 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.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Homes, businesses and hotels

- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Yiewsley. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

Workplaces and buildings in Yiewsley
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. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
Community buildings like St Matthew's are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rabbsfarm Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
