In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Minley
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you are dealing with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can put it right, on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs alike.
For a small place like Minley, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Commercial buildings in Minley
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
If you look after a building such as Frogmore Community College, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Fleet station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

When to call us in Minley
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
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.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Minley
Can you do fire rated sealant in Minley?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Minley is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Is Minley within the area you cover?
Yes, Minley is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Minley?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Minley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
