Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Enfield Lock
Do you cover Enfield Lock for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Enfield Lock is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you match the sealant colour?

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Enfield Lock
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
As a London address, Enfield Lock can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Before booking anyone
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Are they insured?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
