How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Fire rated sealant in Little Bookham, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and open gaps behind door architraves.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Little Bookham, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Common problems we fix in Little Bookham
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Community buildings like Church of St Lawrence are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Little Bookham
Can you do fire rated sealant in Little Bookham?

Do you work for landlords with property near Bookham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
