How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
About our fire rated sealant in Great Bookham
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about damaged fire sealant left by other trades and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
In a smaller place like Great Bookham, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Fire rated sealant around Great Bookham
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.
Schools such as The Dawnay School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Bookham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

A visit to Great Bookham 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.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Questions from Great Bookham
Is Great Bookham within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bookham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Great Bookham?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Community buildings like Church of St Nicolas are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
