Fire rated sealant in Enfield Wash, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and people most often call us about gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and linear gaps at the head of walls. Some people call us the mastic man, others the silicone man or the sealant specialist, but the work in Enfield Wash is the same: proper preparation and the right sealant for every joint.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, whether that’s washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Where a building in Enfield Wash needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Enfield Wash
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
For landlords with property near Turkey Street station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Enfield Wash is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a London area like Enfield Wash, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Common questions in Enfield Wash
Is Enfield Wash in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Enfield Wash is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Enfield Wash?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Enfield Wash
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
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.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
When to call us in Enfield Wash
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
If you look after a building such as Eastfield Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
