How we handle fire rated sealant in Headley
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. We are often asked to deal with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open gaps behind door architraves, across door frames, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.
Work in a small place like Headley is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Headley
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.
Letting a property close to Liphook station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Managing a site like The Holme Church of England Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.

Advice
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Headley
Is Headley in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Headley is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Headley within the area you cover?
Yes, Headley is covered. 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 hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Headley
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment

Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises

- The number and length of the joints
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before

Landlord and commercial work in Headley
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Headley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
