About our fire stopping in Fulham
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. Where the walls and floors already have a fire-stopping specification, we can work to it, matching the product and detail it names. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, cable penetrations and pipe penetrations, and the failures we are asked to look at most are penetration schedules that need working through and openings found when ceilings come down for a refit. For commercial sealant work in Fulham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Taller residential buildings in London may fall under the Building Safety Act’s higher-risk regime, where fire-stopping records get close attention. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant; tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Penetration seals near Fulham
London’s office and residential buildings are refitted constantly, and each round of cabling or pipework can leave open penetrations. We install fire-rated sealant where it is specified and work within the building manager’s permit system. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Fulham. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal.
Colleges such as St Mellitus Theological College, 1.3 miles to the north-east of Fulham, add IT and services as courses change, and each new penetration through a fire-resisting wall needs sealing with the specified product. Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Charing Cross Hospital (to the north-west of Fulham) all have compartment walls crossed by services.
Fulham is about 2 miles south of Kensington, in Greater London. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Fulham can call on us for service penetrations, as part of our coverage of Greater London. Fulham is one of 764 places in Greater London on our list.

Quoting for work in Fulham
These are the things that shape the price:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much there is to seal
- Location, for remote and island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The product your specification calls for
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Leave it or put it right?
Open penetrations multiply: every new cable or pipe adds another. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Fulham takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Questions we are asked in Fulham
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Fulham?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
When to call us in Fulham
Head-of-wall joints and wall-to-wall junctions are frequent weak points. Movement in the frame or slab can open the joint, and the wrong product can split as a result. The tested detail for a linear joint states the width and movement it covers.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
For an estates team at a campus like BIMM University (0.5 miles east of Fulham), summer M&E works are typically followed by a round of penetration sealing.
Comparing quotes
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
What the job involves on each surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Risers and ceiling voids hold most of a building’s service penetrations. Access is often tight, so we agree it with you in advance.
Plastic pipes
In a fire, plastic pipework melts away and leaves an opening. Small sizes are sometimes covered by an intumescent sealant detail. We check the pipe material and diameter against the detail before we start.

How a job runs
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For a job in Fulham, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned so the seal starts clean.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
