Fire stopping in Clapham Junction
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. To price a package, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you have fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back and improvised or mixed-product fire seals, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Clapham Junction, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Taller residential buildings in London may fall under the Building Safety Act’s higher-risk regime, where fire-stopping records get close attention. We install what the designer or fire engineer has specified, and if you need records of the work, tell us and we will confirm with the quote.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Questions we’re asked in Clapham Junction
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Clapham Junction?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Why it’s worth doing now in Clapham Junction
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. Putting it right is typically a modest job when the openings are accessible. Wait until ceilings close or areas are occupied and the same work becomes harder to reach. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why us?
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months

What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.
