Fire-rated sealant in Farnborough, Greater London

- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Fire rated sealant in Farnborough
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps left after a refit or conversion and linear gaps at the head of walls.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Where a building in Farnborough needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Why act early in Farnborough
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Farnborough.

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We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same.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:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the amount of work. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is 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.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Farnborough
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Commercial buildings in Farnborough
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. 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.
For buildings such as Church of St Giles the Abbot, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Farnborough Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. As a London address, Farnborough can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What else we do in Farnborough
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
