How we handle fire rated sealant in Farley Hill
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and the jobs we see most are holes left by a change of layout and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Farley Hill, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.

Farley Hill questions
Will you come out to Farley Hill?
Yes, Farley Hill is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Farley Hill for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Farley Hill is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
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 tell you when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Common problems we fix in Farley Hill
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 is not always sealed again.
The most common problems we see are:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Community buildings like St Eligius are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Farley Hill, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Farley Hill
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.
Managing a site like Farley Hill Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Wokingham station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t 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. Around Farley Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
