Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Merrow? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.

- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Merrow
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Merrow generally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a smaller place like Merrow, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Commercial buildings in Merrow
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Clandon station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like Church of St John the Evangelist are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why act early in Merrow
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Homes in smaller places like Merrow can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
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 that we can handle for you.
What affects the quote in Merrow
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we are called out for in Merrow
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Managing a site like Bushy Hill Junior School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
