Fire Rated Sealant in Old Woking
We cover Old Woking for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Old Woking, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How we handle fire rated sealant in Old Woking
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. 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 unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps left after a refit or conversion, on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
Somewhere as small as Old Woking, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What happens if it’s left?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In a small place like Old Woking, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing.
Old Woking: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Woking station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Old Woking in your area for fire rated sealant?

Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Old Woking
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Woking station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kingfield Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like St Peter's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
