About our fire rated sealant in Hydestile
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 are dealing with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help.
For a small place like Hydestile, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hydestile
Do you cover Hydestile for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Hydestile is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Hydestile?
Yes. Hydestile 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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Hydestile?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Community buildings like Hambledon Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is VAT in the price?
- What the cure time is
- Whether you can choose the colour
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Hydestile, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice

We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Milford (Surrey) station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as St Dominic's School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
