Fire rated sealant in Enfield Highway, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. 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 flagged on a fire risk assessment and linear gaps at the head of walls, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and service penetrations.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. For managing agents and building owners in Enfield Highway, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Enfield Highway and across Greater London.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Enfield Highway
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. 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, 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.
As a London address, Enfield Highway can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Schools such as Enfield Heights Academy are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In Enfield Highway, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Enfield Highway
Is parking a problem for a job in Enfield Highway?
Parking in Enfield Highway, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Is Enfield Highway in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Enfield Highway is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
When to call us in Enfield Highway
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Community buildings like St James' Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What product goes in the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Why it’s worth doing now in Enfield Highway
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a flat in Enfield Highway, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
