Fire Rated Sealant in Hatchford
Fire-stopping gaps in Hatchford need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Fire rated sealant in Hatchford, done properly
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. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Hatchford, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What else we do in Hatchford
When to call us in Hatchford
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
Rented homes near Effingham Junction station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Fire rated sealant in Hatchford: local notes
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as St Matthew's CofE Aided Infant School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Hatchford, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Common questions in Hatchford
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Effingham Junction station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Hatchford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
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.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
