Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Chingford Hatch
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you’re dealing with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, whether that’s washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Chingford Hatch can’t close.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Chingford Hatch
Chingford Hatch has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
For landlords with property near Highams Park station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Longshaw Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like All Saints Church of England Highams Park are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Questions from Chingford Hatch
Do you work in hotels near Chingford Hatch?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I let a flat near Highams Park station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Chingford Hatch, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
