About our fire rated sealant in Abinger Hammer
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you have gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Abinger Hammer, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Abinger Hammer
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out

Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that is easy
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
