Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Eastwick
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment on buildings across Eastwick. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on service penetrations, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about linear gaps at the head of walls and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
In a village or hamlet like Eastwick, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Eastwick questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Harlow Town station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Eastwick within the area you cover?
Yes, Eastwick is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Eastwick, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Eastwick, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Workplaces and buildings in Eastwick
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Harlow, which Eastwick is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Like the other new towns, Harlow was planned with its own areas for industry and business, so workplaces sit close to the homes. Each has washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints to keep in order.
Managing a site like Pemberley Academy? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Rented homes near Harlow Town station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Common problems we fix in Eastwick
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Community buildings like Church of St Botolph are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product.
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
