About our fire rated sealant in Godalming
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are open holes round services passing through fire walls and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
In a smaller place like Godalming, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Why it’s worth doing now in Godalming
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Around Godalming, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why Godalming clients choose us
- We never seal over old sealant
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Parking around Godalming is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few photos by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Godalming
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Godalming. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Edmund Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Godalming station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Moss Lane School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
