About our fire rated sealant in Lickfold
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include linear gaps at the head of walls and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry.
For a small place like Lickfold, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Lickfold
Commercial buildings in Lickfold
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Lawrence, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Haslemere station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lickfold
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lickfold can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

FAQs for Lickfold
Will you come out to Lickfold?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Lickfold in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lickfold is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
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.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
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 pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new 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 Lickfold, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.

- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we’ll tell you.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
