How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Fire rated sealant in Broadfields Estate, done properly
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are open joints along the top of partitions and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in Broadfields Estate, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Broadfields Estate and across Greater London.

Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a London area like Broadfields Estate, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- 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 and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Fire rated sealant around Broadfields Estate
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
If you look after a building such as Rosh Pinah Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as St Andrew, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

FAQs for Broadfields Estate
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Broadfields Estate?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Broadfields Estate?
Parking in Broadfields Estate, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What we’re called out for in Broadfields Estate
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Look out for these signs:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Rented homes near Mill Hill Broadway station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- How long the guarantee is
- Is VAT in the price?
- Are they insured?
When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
