Fire stopping in Harringay, done properly
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. To price a package, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you are dealing with unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings and builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls, we can put it right, on pipe penetrations, service gaps in risers and cable penetrations alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Harringay, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Fit-outs and M&E works in London buildings often leave service penetrations open behind ceilings and in risers. If sealant is the specified product we fit it to its tested detail, and if the detail needs something else, you will hear it from us.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
A simple record of seal locations and products helps. It tells the next contractor exactly what to reinstate, and it helps at inspections.

Why it’s worth doing now in Harringay
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: each new service adds to the list. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small and avoids a much larger catch-up later. In Harringay, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Questions we’re asked in Harringay
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you seal service penetrations in hotels around Harringay?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
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.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Signs you need fire stopping in Harringay
When a seal departs from its tested detail, the evidence no longer covers it. An oversized gap, too shallow a bead, missing backing or two makers’ products combined are the usual culprits.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like St Ann's Hospital, 0.5 miles east of Harringay, all have compartment walls crossed by services.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Compartments and services around Harringay
In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. References to the older BS 476 classes are being removed from it from 2 September 2029, after which the European classification, BS EN 13501-2, is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail. London’s office and residential buildings are refitted constantly, and each round of cabling or pipework can leave open penetrations. Penetrations are sealed with the specified product, to its tested detail, under the building’s own permit rules.
For a unit at a site such as Arena Shopping Park, less than half a mile to the south of Harringay, any new service through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the tested detail. Hotels such as Haringey Hotel (to the south-west of Harringay) rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified.

How the job changes by surface
Small ducts
We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. Dampers and ductwork systems themselves are outside our work.
Risers and ceiling voids
Risers and ceiling voids hold most of a building’s service penetrations. Access is often tight, so we agree it with you in advance along with any permits your site needs.
Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For a job in Harringay, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- 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.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
