Fire Rated Sealant in Downside
Fire-stopping gaps in Downside need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. In a small place like Downside, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Fire rated sealant in Downside, done properly
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you have joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Downside, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Downside
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you let a flat or house near Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has
- What guarantee comes with the work

FAQs for Downside
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Downside within the area you cover?
Yes. Downside is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Downside

- When we can work, for business premises
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote

- The address or postcode of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Downside
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as St Matthew's CofE Aided Infant School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Michael's Chapel, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
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 have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Downside needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- 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.
- 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
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
