Your questions about fire rated sealant in Rainham
I let a flat near Rainham (Essex) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Rainham?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Rainham is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
What sealant 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.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
About our fire rated sealant in Rainham
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. Typical jobs include open joints along the top of partitions and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, across pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. For managing agents and building owners in Rainham, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Fire rated sealant around Rainham
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
Community buildings like Church of St Helen and St Giles are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Letting a property close to Rainham (Essex) station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Rainham Village Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
What affects the quote in Rainham

- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height

When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In Rainham, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
