About our fire rated sealant in Enfield Wash
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on. Common call-outs are for gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and linear gaps at the head of walls, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Enfield Wash, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Enfield Wash and everywhere else we cover.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. For a job in Enfield Wash, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask which product was used before you paint
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.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Commercial buildings in Enfield Wash
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Eastfield Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like St George's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Turkey Street station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Why deal with it now?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In an older home around Enfield Wash, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

Enfield Wash questions
Will you come out to Enfield Wash?
Yes, Enfield Wash is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Enfield Wash for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Enfield Wash is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
