Commercial buildings 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Redbridge. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Community buildings like St Luke's Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Oxford station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

About our fire rated sealant in Redbridge
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We are often asked to deal with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across door frames, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Redbridge, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What else we do in Redbridge
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Redbridge
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
The process
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. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Redbridge, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Redbridge
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Schools such as New Hinksey Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Before booking anyone

- What the cure time is

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.

Redbridge: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Oxford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Redbridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
