Common questions in Fetcham
Is Fetcham within the area you cover?
Yes. Fetcham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Leatherhead station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Fetcham
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, and we can record what went where. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are fire seals that have cracked with movement and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Fetcham normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common problems we fix in Fetcham
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Managing a site like Oakfield Junior School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a smaller place like Fetcham, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Workplaces and buildings in Fetcham
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Leatherhead station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St. Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. A visit to Fetcham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
