Fire rated sealant in Hinchley Wood
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We are often asked to deal with gaps left after a refit or conversion and linear gaps at the head of walls, across flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Hinchley Wood, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Hinchley Wood: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Hinchley Wood?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you cover smaller places like Hinchley Wood?
Yes. Hinchley Wood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. 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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
Need a quote? Please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the job. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Homes in smaller places like Hinchley Wood can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the amount of work. For a job in Hinchley Wood, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What else we do in Hinchley Wood
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Hinchley Wood?
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Holes left by a change of layout
Rented homes near Hinchley Wood station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Commercial buildings in Hinchley Wood
Hinchley Wood has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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.
Managing a site like Hinchley Wood Primary School? Then 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 Hinchley Wood Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
