About our fire stopping in Broadwater Farm
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our part is installing fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those openings and along linear gaps, where the specification calls for it. Each seal follows the manufacturer’s tested detail. If you are dealing with seals that don’t match their tested detail and fire sealant pulled out of the opening, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Broadwater Farm, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
After a fit-out or new cabling in a London building, risers and ceiling voids are where open service gaps tend to be found. Fire-rated sealant goes in where it’s the specified item; where a collar, wrap or batt is called for instead, we flag it.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Questions about Broadwater Farm
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Broadwater Farm?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
Is Tottenham Hale Retail Park, near Broadwater Farm, within your area?
Yes. We cover Broadwater Farm and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Tottenham Hale Retail Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Fire-rated sealing for Broadwater Farm buildings
There are two care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Broadwater Farm. Where new services have gone through compartment walls in a care setting, the gaps need the specified product. For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail.
At a university such as American University in London (2.8 miles south-west of Broadwater Farm), labs, lecture blocks and residences are re-serviced often, so penetration seals are best checked after M&E work. Halls and meeting rooms at places like St Philip the Apostle sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. Shop fits on retail sites such as Tottenham Hale Retail Park (to the south-east of Broadwater Farm) can bring new services through fire-resisting walls between units, to be sealed with the specified product.

How the job changes by surface
Drylining partitions
Drylined fire walls are tested in a particular build-up. We check that the product’s detail covers that partition type and board thickness before sealing.
Plastic pipes
Plastic waste pipes through slabs come up often. Whether sealant alone is acceptable depends entirely on the tested detail, and we won’t substitute it for a specified collar.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Working within restricted access windows
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any specification or named product
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The type of building and who uses it
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Broadwater Farm can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
Add risers, plant rooms and ceiling voids to routine fire-stopping checks. Look for cracks, unsealed new cables and gaps that have been enlarged.
A simple record of seal locations and products helps. When a new service goes through, everyone knows which product and detail to match, which saves guesswork.
