About our fire rated sealant in Hersham
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Typical jobs include holes left by a change of layout and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, on service penetrations, door frames and flats & HMOs.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Hersham, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Hersham and across Surrey.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why act early in Hersham
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In an older home around Hersham, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

When to call us in Hersham
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 may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Community buildings like 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.

Hersham questions
I let a flat near Walton-On-Thames station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Hersham within the area you cover?
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.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before we start.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. A visit to Hersham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
