FAQs for Marks Gate
Will you come out to Marks Gate?
Yes. Marks Gate 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chadwell Heath station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Marks Gate and the rest of Essex, along with the rest of our area.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Common problems we fix in Marks Gate
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Crownfield Infant School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who turns up on the day
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they’re fully insured
Leave it or put it right?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Marks Gate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

For buildings such as St Mark's, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to Chadwell Heath station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
