Common problems we fix in Navestock Heath
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.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you let a flat or house near Harold Wood station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.

Can you do fire rated sealant in Navestock Heath?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Navestock Heath is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.

What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Navestock Heath, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What we can’t put right
