Fire-rated sealant in Banstead, Surrey
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Banstead, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Banstead, done properly
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged fire sealant left by other trades and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Banstead, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and commercial work in Banstead
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Fire rated sealant in Banstead: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as St Anne's Catholic Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Rented homes near Banstead station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

When it is not the sealant

- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire

Where we work in Banstead
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we’ll tell you.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Banstead questions
Is Banstead in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Banstead is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Banstead within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. A visit to Banstead is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.

- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
