Fire Rated Sealant in Ottershaw
We cover Ottershaw for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Fire rated sealant in Ottershaw
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. If you have linear gaps at the head of walls and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can help.
In a smaller place like Ottershaw, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.

When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
Different surfaces, different methods
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 with backing where the detail needs it.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Common questions in Ottershaw
Do you cover Ottershaw for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Ottershaw is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Ottershaw?
Yes. Ottershaw is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Ottershaw
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Christ Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Chertsey station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

The nearest railway station is Chertsey station, roughly 1.9 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find The Hockey Museum (3.3 miles south) and St. Peter's Hospital (1 mile north).

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking around Ottershaw is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. 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.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Common problems we fix in Ottershaw
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Schools such as Ottershaw Christchurch Church of England Junior School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they hold
- What preparation is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What product goes in the joint
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ottershaw
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
