How we handle fire rated sealant in Snaresbrook
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, whether that is washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Snaresbrook cannot close.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. In a London area like Snaresbrook, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we are sealing.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Fire rated sealant around Snaresbrook
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. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
For buildings such as Church of St Peter in the Forest, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as Forest School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

When to call us in Snaresbrook
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Rented homes near Wood Street station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Snaresbrook
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- The type of property
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Snaresbrook
Do you work for landlords with property near Wood Street station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Snaresbrook?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
