How we handle fire rated sealant in Lower Bourne
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged fire sealant left by other trades and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
Around a place like Lower Bourne, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we are called out for in Lower Bourne
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Rented homes near Farnham station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Bourne
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Lower Bourne, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Lower Bourne: your questions answered
I let a flat near Farnham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Bourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Landlord and commercial work in Lower Bourne
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Commercial buildings in Lower Bourne
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Lower Bourne. 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.
If you look after a building such as Farnham College, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Martin by the Green, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
