Do you need fire rated sealant in Goodmayes?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Goodmayes Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Goodmayes
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames, and the jobs we see most are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Goodmayes cannot close.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Goodmayes
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Goodmayes?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Goodmayes station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Goodmayes, along with the rest of our area.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Why act early in Goodmayes
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Goodmayes, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We’re fully insured
What fire rated sealant looks like in Goodmayes
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Goodmayes is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
