About our fire rated sealant in Dagenham
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Common call-outs are for gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and open gaps behind door architraves, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and service penetrations.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in Dagenham, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

For landlords and businesses

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Dagenham
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Dagenham Dock station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Village Infants' School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
When to call us in Dagenham
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For buildings such as St. Peter and St. Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What preparation is included
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, 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.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Dagenham
Is parking a problem for a job in Dagenham?
Parking in Dagenham, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dagenham Dock station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
