Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
About our fire rated sealant in Farnham
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That is the part we focus on, one gap at a time. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and holes left by a change of layout.
Work in a small place like Farnham is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Leave it or put it right?
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 when the building is next checked. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Farnham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Farnham
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Questions from Farnham
I let a flat near Stansted Mountfitchet station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Farnham?
Yes, Farnham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
