Fire rated sealant in Compton, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are new service routes left unsealed after building work and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
Somewhere as small as Compton, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Compton questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Farnham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Compton?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Older cottages and farmhouses around Compton 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: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Tidy, careful work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
What happens on the day
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 a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Compton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Compton
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Compton. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Marys Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Letting a property close to Farnham station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as South Farnham School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
