How we handle fire rated sealant in Busbridge
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Common call-outs are for fire stopping disturbed by later work and linear gaps at the head of walls, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Busbridge, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Fire rated sealant around Busbridge
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Busbridge Infant School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Godalming station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Busbridge
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
The most common problems we see are:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John the Baptist Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Busbridge
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Older cottages and farmhouses around Busbridge can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
