Fire stopping in Enfield Chase
It helps to set out our role at the start. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance. If you have seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Enfield Chase, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
London has many occupied offices, blocks and mixed-use buildings where services are added and rerouted all the time. Where the specification names fire-rated sealant, it goes in exactly as the manufacturer’s test evidence shows for that wall or floor.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
- The product specified
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- When you need the work done
To get a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.

How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out first.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Where services cross fire walls in Enfield Chase
In London buildings, frequent fit-outs and M&E changes are a common reason fire stopping gets breached. Penetrations are sealed with the specified product, to its tested detail, under the building’s own permit rules. Enfield Chase has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close.
Older community buildings such as Church of St Mary Magdalene that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like The Cavell Hospital (under half a mile north-west of Enfield Chase) all have compartment walls crossed by services.
Enfield Chase is about 3 miles north-west of Edmonton, in Greater London. Any commercial site in Enfield Chase is covered. Enfield Chase is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London for service penetrations. Sites around London have their own page, about 11 miles away.
If you need fire stopping in EN2, N21 and EN1, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed.

Sites close to Enfield Chase are covered too, including Enfield (1 mile east), Gordon Hill (1 mile north-east), Bush Hill (1 mile south-east), Clay Hill (1 mile north-east) and Bush Hill Park (1 mile south-east).

FAQs: Enfield Chase
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Enfield Chase, such as Enfield Retail Park?
Yes. We cover Enfield Chase and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Enfield Retail Park. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you hold third-party fire-stopping installer certification?
No, and we won’t imply otherwise. Third-party schemes aren’t a legal requirement, but many clients and main contractors ask for them, so check your contract first. If it doesn’t require one, we can install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
Is the BS 476 change in 2029 relevant to fire stopping?
For buildings in England, Approved Document B removes BS 476 references from 2 September 2029. Classification to BS EN 13501-2 becomes the expected evidence, subject to transitional arrangements. In Scotland, the Technical Handbook sets its own guidance, with clause 2.1.14 covering service penetrations.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Why act early in Enfield Chase
Fire stopping is a regular point raised at inspections and handover. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme which is why earlier is better. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

When to call us in Enfield Chase
Some seals fail because the wrong product went in: builders’ foam or ordinary silicone used to fill a hole. The opening looks sealed but has no fire test evidence behind it, so it has to come out.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Penetration schedules that need working through
Refits at places like Enfield Retail Park, 1.7 miles east of Enfield Chase, often reroute services through walls between units.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
What the job involves on each surface
Linear joints
Head-of-wall gaps, slab edges and wall junctions are linear joints. BS EN 1366-4 testing sets the joint widths, depths, backing and movement a seal covers and the installation has to fit inside those limits.
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. The detail limits bundle size and the gaps between and around cables.
