Fire rated sealant in Upper Walthamstow

How we quote for fire rated sealant

You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:

  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • How much there is to do

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What we need to know

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

  • The type of property
  • A few photos by email, if you can
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • The problem you’ve noticed

We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.

Fire rated sealant in Upper Walthamstow

Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We are often asked to deal with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and fire stopping disturbed by later work, across service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.

Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in Upper Walthamstow, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Upper Walthamstow and across Greater London.

Workplaces and buildings in Upper Walthamstow

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 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, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.

For buildings such as Church of St Peter in the Forest, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like The Woodside Primary Academy? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to Wood Street station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Walthamstow

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.

DIY versus a professional finish

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

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 generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the amount of work. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Upper Walthamstow. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.

  1. We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
  2. Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
  3. We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
  4. Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
  5. Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.

Before we arrive

  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Tell us if parking is tricky

Related advice

Why act early in Upper Walthamstow

An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Aftercare tips

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
  • Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
  • Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
  • Ask which product was used before you paint

Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.

Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.

Surface by surface

Linear gaps

Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.

Door frames

A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
