About our fire rated sealant in Crosswater
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; 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 work to the manufacturer’s details. If you have open joints along the top of partitions and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps alike.
For a small place like Crosswater, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Workplaces and buildings in Crosswater
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.
If you look after a building such as St John's CofE Aided Infant School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John the Evangelist, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like Crosswater, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Common questions in Crosswater
Can you do fire rated sealant in Crosswater?
Yes, Crosswater is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Farnham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Crosswater, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Other services in Crosswater
Do you need fire rated sealant in Crosswater?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
Rented homes near Farnham station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
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.
