Fire rated sealant in Cobham, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you’re dealing with new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can help.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Cobham, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution

Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Homes in smaller places like Cobham can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. Parking around Cobham is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Fire rated sealant in Cobham: 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as St Andrew's CofE Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Cobham
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
- Any working-time requirements on site
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
DIY versus a professional finish
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. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we’ll tell you which one you have.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
