Fire rated sealant around Hammer Bottom
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Woolmer Hill School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Haslemere station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
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 seal has something sound to bond to.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The amount of work
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Common questions in Hammer Bottom
Do you cover Hammer Bottom for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hammer Bottom is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Hammer Bottom?
Yes, we do. Our work covers 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 take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hammer Bottom can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access from start to finish. In a small place like Hammer Bottom, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is 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.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
