Fire rated sealant in Sewardstonebury
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can help.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Sewardstonebury cannot close.

Advice
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Fire rated sealant around Sewardstonebury
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, 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. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
For buildings such as Chingford United Reformed Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Sewardstonebury is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Sewardstonebury
Is parking a problem for a job in Sewardstonebury?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Is Sewardstonebury in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Sewardstonebury is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Sewardstonebury
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Managing a site like Yardley Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

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 so the sealant bonds.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
