How we handle fire rated sealant in Brookwood
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are fire seals that have cracked with movement and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
For a small place like Brookwood, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Fire rated sealant around Brookwood
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Brookwood station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Saint Saviour's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why act early in Brookwood
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Brookwood can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Brookwood
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Schools such as Brookwood Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Questions from Brookwood
I let a flat near Brookwood station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Brookwood within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
