Fire-rated sealant in Romford, Greater London
Fire-stopping gaps in Romford need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Fire rated sealant in Romford
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you are dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can help, on door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry alike.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. For a building in Romford, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Common questions in Romford
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Romford?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do you work for landlords with property near Romford station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
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.
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’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Romford
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Edward the Confessor, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the quote in Romford
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Fire rated sealant around Romford
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Romford. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Concordia Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to Romford station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
