Fire rated sealant in Cranleigh
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Cranleigh. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. Typical jobs include cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and linear gaps.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Cranleigh have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Cranleigh and everywhere else we cover.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Cranleigh
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How much experience the applicator has
- When the joint can take water or movement
Why act early in Cranleigh
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, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a smaller place like Cranleigh, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why book with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Questions from Cranleigh
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Cranleigh?
All our work, in Cranleigh and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Cranleigh within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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. All the old material has to come out 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.
Landlord and commercial work in Cranleigh
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a smaller place like Cranleigh, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Advice
Fire rated sealant around Cranleigh
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as St Cuthbert Mayne Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
