The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a job in Havering-atte-Bower, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Havering-atte-Bower: your questions answered
Do you cover Havering-atte-Bower for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Havering-atte-Bower is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Harold Wood station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot 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.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we will tell you.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Why act early in Havering-atte-Bower
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.

Fire rated sealant around Havering-atte-Bower

We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Havering-atte-Bower is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Letting a property close to Harold Wood station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
