Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Fire rated sealant in Woodford
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, and we can record what went where. We’re often asked to deal with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, on linear gaps, door frames and pipe & cable gaps.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. For a building in Woodford, we agree timings and access before anything starts, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. 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.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.

Fire rated sealant around Woodford
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 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, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
For buildings such as St Barnabas' Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Highams Park station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Woodford is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Fully insured
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Woodford questions
Do you cover Woodford for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Woodford is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Woodford?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What sealant do you use?
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.
