What affects the quote in Earlswood
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Earlswood
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints along the top of partitions and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
In a smaller place like Earlswood, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Common problems we fix in Earlswood
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
If you let a flat or house near Earlswood (Surrey) station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Questions from Earlswood
Do you work for landlords with property near Earlswood (Surrey) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Earlswood in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Earlswood is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Earlswood?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What else we do in Earlswood
Fire rated sealant in Earlswood: 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 John's Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a smaller place like Earlswood, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a smaller place like Earlswood, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
