Commercial buildings in Havering-atte-Bower
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.
Letting a property close to Harold Wood station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dame Tipping Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Havering-atte-Bower?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Community buildings like Church of St John the Evangelist are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Havering-atte-Bower questions
Can you do fire rated sealant in Havering-atte-Bower?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Havering-atte-Bower is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Havering-atte-Bower within the area you cover?
Yes, Havering-atte-Bower 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.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run leaving no stretch unsealed.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
