About our fire rated sealant in Binscombe
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are linear gaps at the head of walls and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
Somewhere as small as Binscombe, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Fire rated sealant around Binscombe
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Loseley Fields Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Farncombe station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Binscombe?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For buildings such as St John the Evangelist Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Questions from Binscombe
Is Binscombe within the area you cover?
Yes, Binscombe is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Farncombe station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we’ll tell you which one you have.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Binscombe needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.

Preparing for the visit
