When to call us in Farnham Common
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Farnham Common Junior School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Fire rated sealant in Farnham Common, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can put it right, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps alike.
For a small place like Farnham Common, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.

Fire rated sealant in Farnham Common: local notes
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as St John the Evangelist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Burnham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Advice
What affects the quote in Farnham Common
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
Need a quote? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the job. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
Why act early in Farnham Common
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. Around Farnham Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- We never seal over old sealant
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
