Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hammer
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you are dealing with linear gaps at the head of walls and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps alike.
For a small place like Hammer, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Hammer, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Hammer
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Woolmer Hill School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St. Stephen's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Hammer?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For landlords with property near Haslemere station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Hammer: your questions answered
I let a flat near Haslemere station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Hammer?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Around Hammer, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hammer
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
