About our fire rated sealant in Harold Wood
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on door frames, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Harold Wood, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Harold Wood
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 let a flat or house near Harold Wood station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as Saint Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Redden Court School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What happens on the day
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 and we leave things clean and tidy. For a job in Harold Wood, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since 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.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Why it’s worth doing now in Harold Wood
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a smaller place like Harold Wood, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Harold Wood questions
Is Harold Wood in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Harold Wood is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Harold Wood?
Yes. Harold Wood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
