What we are called out for in Chobham
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you let a flat or house near Longcross station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Chobham
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. Typical jobs include open holes round services passing through fire walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work, across service penetrations, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
Around a place like Chobham, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a smaller place like Chobham, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. A visit to Chobham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
FAQs for Chobham
Is Chobham in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Chobham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Chobham?
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.
Is the work guaranteed?

How much does fire rated sealant cost in Chobham?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Commercial buildings in Chobham
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Lawrence, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Lawrence CofE (Aided) Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
