Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in London Fields can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Move anything stored against the joints

Advice
Fire stopping in London Fields, done properly
It helps to set out our role at the start. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required; sign-off sits with them too. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance on sites in London Fields. If you’re dealing with head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and fire sealant pulled out of the opening, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in London Fields, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
After a fit-out or new cabling in a London building, risers and ceiling voids are where open service gaps tend to be found. Fire-rated sealant goes in where it’s the specified item; where a collar, wrap or batt is called for instead, we flag it.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
What happens if it’s left?
Open service penetrations matter on ordinary days, not just in a fire: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first and the building feels the difference. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Why us?
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Distance, for remote addresses
A quote for service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Access details, including height
- When you need the work done
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What we’re called out for in London Fields
Plenty of openings were simply never closed, often hidden above suspended ceilings or behind boxing. Inspections, refurbishments and ceiling access typically bring them to light.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
Hotels such as Kip Hotel (0.6 miles north of London Fields) rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified.
Comparing quotes
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
London Fields: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Homerton University Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you seal service penetrations in hotels around London Fields?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
How do we ask for 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 photographs and a postcode.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
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.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Doing it in-house
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Fire stopping around London Fields: how the place shapes the job
With tenants changing and fit-outs following, London buildings see service routes altered again and again. Penetrations are sealed with the specified product, to its tested detail, under the building’s own permit rules. There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of London Fields. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close.
Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like New City College (to the south-west of London Fields) are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal. Hospital estates such as Homerton University Hospital, 1 mile to the north-east of London Fields, are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail.
