DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Lurgashall
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We are often asked to deal with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and open joints along the top of partitions, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
In a village or hamlet like Lurgashall, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Lurgashall
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 let a flat or house near Haslemere station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Lawrence are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What else we do in Lurgashall
Lurgashall: your questions answered
Is Lurgashall within the area you cover?
Yes, Lurgashall is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Lurgashall in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Lurgashall is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Why act early in Lurgashall
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Lurgashall, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Lurgashall, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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 gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
