About our fire rated sealant in Southend
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have linear gaps at the head of walls and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help, whatever the surface.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, whether that is washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings. Where a building in Southend needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Southend
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Southend. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Questions from Southend
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Southend?
Parking in Southend, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Southend?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Southend is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What else we do in Southend
What we’re called out for in Southend
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
As a London address, Southend can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long the guarantee is
- What product goes in the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Commercial buildings in Southend
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Dunstan, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Elfrida Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
