What fire rated sealant looks like in Redbridge
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Chadwell Heath station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Common problems we fix in Redbridge
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Oasis Academy Pinewood, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What else we do in Redbridge
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access from start to finish. In a small place like Redbridge, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Redbridge
Is Redbridge within the area you cover?
Yes, Redbridge 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.
Is Redbridge in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Redbridge is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
