Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We’re often asked to deal with old fire sealant that has split or come away and open gaps behind door architraves, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry.
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 Hale End.

Surface by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.

Workplaces and buildings in Hale End
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
If you look after a building such as Joseph Clarke School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Hale End is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
Hale End questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Highams Park station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Hale End?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Hale End
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For landlords with property near Highams Park station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
