What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Black mould and gaps in sealant don’t fix themselves, and in a busy household in Farnham they spread with every shower and every downpour. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. In Farnham, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Do you need fire rated sealant in Farnham?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For buildings such as St Joan of Arc's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What to look for in a quote
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the cure time is
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Farnham
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Farnham. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Farnham College, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Farnham station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.

There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
