How we handle fire rated sealant in Enfield Island Village
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on door frames, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and holes left by a change of layout.
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 Enfield Island Village.

Questions from Enfield Island Village
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Enfield Island Village?
Parking in Enfield Island Village, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Enfield Lock station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you come to Enfield Island Village?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, Enfield Island Village included.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In Enfield Island Village, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. 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.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
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.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Fire rated sealant around Enfield Island Village
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
If you look after a building such as Prince of Wales Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Enfield Lock station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
